SAP NetWeaver AS Java provides a UDDI server and UDDI client that fully implement the Universal Description Discovery and Integration (UDDI) functions based on the UDDI v3.0 specification. The client is a Web Dynpro application that you can use for publishing, browsing, and retrieving tModels, business entities, binding templates, and business services based on the standard UDDI specification. You can publish your services and business entities in a registry that is part of the AS Java installation.

You can find more information about UDDI and the UDDI specification at www.oasis-open.org.

Services Registry

SAP NetWeaver AS Java provides the Services Registry, which is also a UDDI-based client. It contains definitions about enterprise services and references to their metadata. Additionally, it provides information about service consumers and physical systems where service providers offer their Web services.

More Information: Discovering Services in the Services Registry

APIs

The default SOAP APIs exposed by the server are as follows:

  • Inquiry API: http://<host>:<port>/uddi/api/inquiry

  • Publishing API: http(s)://<host>:<port>/uddi/api/publish

  • Security API: http://<host>:<port>/uddi/api/security

  • Subscription API: http://<host>:<port>/uddi/api/subscription

The <host>:<port> part of these addresses represents the host name and HTTP port number relevant to your SAP NetWeaver AS Java installation. The use of HTTP proxy for accessing the publishing API is determined by the configuration settings.
