| <context><p>UDDI enables the discovery of Web services by providing |
| a distributed registry of businesses and their service descriptions, |
| implemented in a common XML format. In order for a service requestor |
| to discover a service, a service provider must first publish a business |
| entity and at least one business service, and service interface in |
| a UDDI registry. The Web Services Explorer is a Web application |
| that supports the publication, discovery, and maintenance of business |
| entities, business services, and service interfaces.</p><p>WSIL enables |
| the discovery of Web services by defining a distributed service discovery |
| method that supplies references to service descriptions at the service |
| provider's point-of-offering, by specifying how to inspect a Web site |
| for available Web services. The WSIL specification defines the |
| locations on a Web site where you can look for Web service descriptions. Since |
| WSIL focuses on distributed service discovery, the WSIL specification |
| complements UDDI by facilitating the discovery of services that are |
| available on Web sites that may not be listed yet in a UDDI registry. |
| The Web Services Explorer allows you to generate and explore WSIL |
| documents.</p><p>The favorites page of the Web Services Explorer allows |
| you to store the location of UDDI registries, business entities, Web |
| services, service interfaces, as well as WSIL and WSDL documents.</p><p>Use |
| the Web Services Explorer to do any of the following tasks:</p><ul> |
| <li> <xref href="taddreg.dita">Add a registry to the Web Services |
| Explorer</xref> </li> |
| <li> <xref href="tbkmrk.dita">Adding a registry, business entity, |
| business service, service interface, WSIL, or WSDL service to Favorites</xref> </li> |
| <li><xref href="tlogexp.dita"></xref></li> |
| <li> <xref href="tdiscov.dita">Discover a Web service</xref> </li> |
| <li> <xref href="tpubent.dita">Publish a business entity to a registry</xref> </li> |
| <li> <xref href="tpublish.dita">Publish a business service to a registry</xref> </li> |
| <li> <xref href="tunpub.dita">Remove a business entity, business service, |
| or service interface from a registry</xref> </li> |
| <li> <xref href="tupdate.dita">Update a business entity, business |
| service, or service interface</xref> </li> |
| <li> <xref href="tbusproj.dita">Manage referenced services</xref> </li> |
| <li> <xref href="tassert.dita">Manage publisher assertions</xref> </li> |
| </ul><p>Prerequisites:</p></context> |
| <steps> |
| <step><cmd></cmd></step> |
| <step><cmd>Before you can use the Web Services Explorer to perform |
| any of these functions, you must <xref href="treg.dita">register |
| with a public registry</xref> or have access to a private registry. |
| There are many different registries with which you can register.</cmd> |
| <info>If you are publishing to a private registry on WebSphere Application |
| Server, the server must be started.</info></step> |
| <step><cmd>Ensure that you are using a supported Web browser.</cmd> |
| <info>The following Web browsers and versions are supported:<ul> |
| <li>Internet Explorer: 6.0 and up</li> |
| <li>Mozilla: 1.2.1 and up</li> |
| </ul></info></step> |
| <step><cmd> <xref href="tstrtexp.dita">Launch the Web Services Explorer</xref>.</cmd> |
| </step> |
| </steps> |
| <result><p><b>Known limitations of the Web Services Explorer:</b><ul> |
| <li>The taxonomy categories in the Web Services Explorer are not translated |
| since they must match those in the standards adhered to by UDDI (ISO, |
| UNSPSC 7.3, NAICS).</li> |
| <li>The Web Services Explorer will launch without the browser toolbar |
| which shows, amongst other things, the URL to the Web application. |
| This URL should only be used by users with accessibility needs. The |
| URL to the Web Services Explorer Web application can be obtained through |
| the following steps:<ol> |
| <li>From the Window menu, select Preferences.</li> |
| <li>In the Preferences dialog, select <uicontrol>Web Browser</uicontrol> in |
| the left pane.</li> |
| <li>On the right, select <uicontrol>Use external Web Browser</uicontrol>.</li> |
| <li>In the <uicontrol>Location: text</uicontrol> field, browse or |
| type in the full path of the Internet Explorer executable. (for example, |
| C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe).</li> |
| <li>Click <uicontrol>Apply</uicontrol> followed by <uicontrol>OK</uicontrol>.</li> |
| </ol> Note that this preference will now apply to any browser windows |
| that are launched by the user or by the tools themselves (such as |
| the Universal Test Client). The Web Services Explorer will now launch |
| in an external browser and its URL should be in the Address field. |
| This can then be pasted or opened using am accessibility assisting |
| browser.</li> |
| <li>When performing an advanced find or publish in the UDDI page of |
| the Web Services Explorer, the items in the drop down list for picking |
| a language in conjunction with a name or description is sorted according |
| to the operating system's locale settings. On <tm tmclass="special" |
| tmowner="Microsoft Corporation" tmtype="reg" trademark="Windows">Windows</tm>, |
| this order may be managed through the Control Panel. To do this:<ol> |
| <li>Open the Control Panel.</li> |
| <li>Launch the Regional Options control panel applet.</li> |
| <li>In the General tab of the resulting dialog, there may be a "Sorting |
| order" drop-down list. If so, pick a sorting order and then click <uicontrol>Apply</uicontrol> followed |
| by <uicontrol>OK</uicontrol>.</li> |
| <li>In the Web Services Explorer, the new sorting order comes into |
| effect once the page reloads. This can be accomplished by pressing |
| the back arrow followed by the forward arrow in the main toolbar.</li> |
| </ol>Note: The instructions above apply to <tm tmclass="special" |
| tmowner="Microsoft Corporation" tmtype="reg" trademark="Windows">Windows</tm> 2000. |
| On <tm tmclass="special" tmowner="Microsoft Corporation" tmtype="reg" |
| trademark="Windows">Windows</tm> XP, the tab mentioned in step 3 is |
| called "Regional Options". Beside the language drop-down, there is |
| a <uicontrol>Customize</uicontrol> button. When this is clicked, a |
| new dialog appears. A sorting tab will allow users to pick the sorting |
| method if applicable.</li> |
