Implementation of Online Book Searching Using Web Services

Abstract

Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) is a platform-independent, Extensible Makeup Language (XML)-based registry for businesses worldwide to list themselves on the Internet [2], [5]. UDDI enables businesses to publish service listings and discover each other and define how the services or software applications interact over the Internet [2]. It is designed to be interrogated by Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) messages and to provide access to Web Services Description Language (WSDL) documents describing the protocol bindings and message formats required to interact with the Web Services listed in its directory [6]. UDDI is also a publicly accessible set of implementations of the specification that allow businesses to register information about the Web Services they offer so that other businesses can find them[1], [6]. UDDI registries are used to promote and discover these distributed Web services. This system describes the capabilities that these registries add to the World Wide Web with the demonstration of a client-server application. These shows how to run book add service and book search service by a Web Service Provider. And then, a UDDI Registry hosts searchable book entries. A Book Add Interface contacts the Book Add Service. A Web Server consumes Book Search Services and provides Book Search Web Interface to the Web Clients.
