UDDI in a Multi-CAST Environment
CentraSite supports a multi-CAST (CentraSite Application Server Tier) UDDI registry environment. In this environment, multiple CASTs are running against a single CentraSite Registry/Repository. Each CAST comes with its own UDDI Registry web application. In addition, several pure JAXR-based clients interact with the Registry/Repository.
In such an environment the Registry/Repository represents a single UDDI registry node, albeit multiple UDDI Registries are involved. Each UDDI Registry provides its own endpoints for the UDDI services. Due to the multi-CAST scenario, two different sets of properties are needed:
Local properties, which specify the behavior of a single UDDI web application. Local properties can be used to change the behavior of the web applications independently.
Global properties, which specify the global behavior of the UDDI registry. Global properties cannot be changed separately for each UDDI registry.
