Setting up and deploying a new UDDI registry

A UDDI registry node consists of the UDDI registry application (a J2EE application that is supplied as part of WebSphere Application Server), a store of data (using a relational database management system) referred to as the UDDI database, and a means to connect the application to the data (a data source and related elements). To set up a new UDDI registry, you create the UDDI database and data source, and deploy the supplied application.

Before you begin

Start WebSphere Application Server, and create a server to host the UDDI registry. Use Starting and stopping quick reference for information about starting WebSphere Application Server using either commands or the administrative console.

About this task

The subtopics describe how to create the UDDI database (which can be local or remote) and data source, and how to deploy the UDDI registry application.

You can create either a default UDDI node or a customized UDDI node. The main difference between the two nodes is the number of mandatory UDDI registry properties, such as the UDDI node ID and description, and the prefix to use for generated discovery URLs.
Default UDDI node
The mandatory properties are automatically set to default values and you cannot change them. A default UDDI node is a suitable option for initial evaluation of the UDDI registry, and for development and test purposes.
Customized UDDI node
You must set the mandatory properties. After these properties are set, you cannot change them for this configuration. With a customized UDDI node, you have more control over the database management system that is used for the UDDI database, and the properties that are used to set up the UDDI database. With a customized UDDI node, you create the UDDI database and data source to your own specifications before deploying the UDDI registry application. A customized node is a suitable option for production purposes. To move from a default UDDI node to a customized UDDI node, see Changing the UDDI registry application environment after deployment.
