Overview

The CentraSite Registry/Repository supports the Java API for XML Registries (JAXR). It also supports UDDI V3- and V2. These APIs enable you to interact with the CentraSite Registry/Repository directly from UDDI-compliant browsers and integration development environment (IDE) tools. For more information about IDE tools, see Using Third-Party IDE Tools with CentraSite.

CentraSite provides Javadocs that you can use to create UDDI V3 clients. The Javadocs provide the interfaces you need for implementing the Publish, Inquiry, Security and Taxonomy APIs in your clients.

Use this API...	To enable the client to...
Publish	Execute any UDDI publishing API call. For example, you can publish services to CentraSite and publish proxy endpoints for services that already exist in CentraSite. You can publish the following UDDI objects: Organization, Service, ServiceBinding and tModel.
Inquiry	Interrogate CentraSite to retrieve service information. When an active run-time policy’s virtual service executes, the Inquiry API will pull the virtual service's information from CentraSite. You can publish the following UDDI objects: Organization, Service, ServiceBinding and tModel.
Security	Execute UDDI security API calls, using authorization tokens.
Taxonomy	Fetch taxonomies and their immediate children. The taxonomies are represented in the tree structure. The Taxonomy API is a custom API.
