Service is a simple container object that holds a set of ServiceBinding s. A Service object is created by an Organization to describe a service that it wants to publish in the registry. An Organization may have any number of associated Service objects, which are created using the createService( ) method of LifeCycleManager and added using the addService( ) or addServices( ) methods of the Organization interface. A registry client can locate a Service using the findServices( ) method of BusinessQueryManager . When the target registry is UDDI, it is only possible to search for services provided by a specified Organization ; ebXML registries allow searching for Service s over all Organization s. In most cases, a service query is based on a set of classifications that describe the nature of the service required. Once a suitable service is found, the getProvidingOrganization( ) method can be used to discover the service provider (which is, of course, obvious in the case of a UDDI registry), and the getServiceBindings( ) method can be used to obtain ServiceBinding objects that describe how to access and use the service. The creating Organization can install and remove these bindings using the addServiceBinding( ) , addServiceBindings( ) , removeServiceBinding( ) , and removeServiceBindings( ) methods.
