Setting up a default UDDI node

You can create a UDDI node with predetermined property values. This UDDI node is suitable for initial evaluation of the UDDI registry and for development and test purposes.

About this task

When you set up a default UDDI node, the mandatory node properties, such as node ID, are set automatically and you cannot change them. You can create a default UDDI node with an embedded Apache Derby database but a different data source, or with a database other than Apache Derby.

If you want to set up a UDDI node with your own properties, including the mandatory node properties, you must set up a customized node. See Setting up a customized UDDI node.

Procedure

  1. Create a database schema to hold the UDDI registry by completing one of the following tasks, ensuring that you use the default node options where specified:
  2. Set up a data source for the UDDI registry application to use to access the database, as described in Creating a data source for the UDDI registry.
  3. Deploy the UDDI registry application, as described in Deploying the UDDI registry application.
  4. Click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications to display the installed applications. Start the UDDI registry application by selecting the check box next to the application name and clicking Start. Alternatively, if the application server is not already running, start the application server. This action automatically starts the UDDI registry application. The UDDI node is now active.

    If you restart the UDDI application or the application server, the UDDI node always reactivates, even if the node was previously deactivated.

  5. Click UDDI > UDDI Nodes > UDDI_node_id to display the properties page for the UDDI registry node. Set Prefix for generated discoveryURLs to a valid URL for your configuration. This property specifies the URL prefix that is applied to generated discovery URLs that are used by the HTTP GET service for UDDI Version 2.

What to do next

Because you chose to use a default UDDI node, the node is initialized when the UDDI application is started for the first time. Follow the instructions in Using the UDDI registry installation verification test (IVT) to verify that you have successfully set up the UDDI node.
