Use the Inquiry API set to locate and obtain details about
entries in a UDDI registry. The API is split into a number of functions,
where each function requires some optional and mandatory arguments.
To access all API calls and arguments that are
supported by the UDDI Version 3 registry programmatically, use the
UDDI Version 3 Client for Java. To access the API functions graphically,
you can use the UDDI user interface, but not all functions are available
with this method.
Each of the find_xx API
functions accepts an optional findQualifier argument.
The UDDI
Version 3 registry supports the following Inquiry API calls:
- find_binding
- Locates specific bindings in a registered businessService. Returns
a bindingDetail message that contains zero or more bindingTemplate
structures that match the criteria specified in the argument list.
- find_business
- Locates information about one or more businesses. Returns a businessList
message that matches the conditions specified in the arguments.
- find_relatedBusinesses
- Locates information about businessEntity registrations that are
related to a specific business entity whose key is passed in the inquiry.
The related businesses feature is used to manage registration of business
units and subsequently relate them based on organizational hierarchies
or business partner relationships. Returns a relatedBusinessList message
that contains results that match the conditions specified in the argument
list.
- find_service
- Locates specific services in a registered businessEntity. Returns
a serviceList message that matches the conditions specified in the
