Web Services Publishing with UDDI

A Web service provider exposes a selected application functionality for others to share. The provider can use the UDDI publishing methods to enable consumers to find this functionality.

Providers publish with a UDDI server in approximately the following development steps:

  1. Create the core functionality of the service.

  2. Write a SOAP wrapper for the core functionality.

  3. Create a WSDL service description. It is often possible to do this using an automated service.

  4. Install the Web service on a new or existing Web server.

  5. Publish the specifications of the Web service in a UDDI server on an intranet, extranet, or on the Internet.
