An important reason for the success of e-commerce has been the growth of B2B interactions between enterprises via the use of Web services. However, for B2B interactions to be successful, there has to be a mechanism by which a business can discover another business that is interested in doing business with it, and then they must agree on a process that they both understand. A registry provides the necessary mechanism by which enterprises can publish, discover, and use Web services, thereby enabling B2B interactions in a dynamic fashion.
In this chapter, you will learn about the various roles that a registry performs, and the use model that businesses follow for using a registry. You will also learn about the JAXR architecture, and the JAXR packages that enable an application to dynamically connect to any registry and work with it.
