A UDDI registry node consists of the following elements:
- A Java™ EE application.
- A store of data that is referred to as the UDDI database. The
UDDI database uses a relational database management system.
- A way to connect the application to the data (a data source and
related elements).
All the data that relates to UDDI is stored in the UDDI database
and therefore that data exists, regardless of the UDDI application.
Therefore, you can remove a UDDI registry node from the application
server without deleting the database, then reinstall the UDDI registry
application. You might do this if an application is corrupted, or
to apply service changes.
