Summary


We’ve spent many pages looking at DISCO and UDDI and what they currently allow us to do. But the specifications have moved past that point, even though the development tools we have access to are still geared toward an earlier specification.

The use of DISCO has pretty much reached the point where it can go no further. Because it is limited to a single server, it was never going to take over the world—we still need some way of telling the world that a discovery document exists. Microsoft’s participation in the creation of UDDI shows that Microsoft realized this quite early on. UDDI allows us to publicize our Web services in a “yellow pages” type of directory and allow anyone to search for those Web services.

But UDDI is still not the end of the story. Yet another specification has been released that allows you to discover Web service—WS-Inspection. As you’ll see in Chapter 12, this specification allows you to create documents that correspond to your Web services and link to descriptions of those Web services in a UBR or directly to the WSDL definition of the Web service.
