This is a feature of the Borland Web Services Kit for Java.
For a description of the Web Services Explorer menus and toolbar buttons, choose from the following topics:
For an overview of the Web Services Explorer, see "Browsing and publishing web services" in the Web Services Developer's Guide.
Important: The UDDI feature of the Web Services Explorer requires the use of Sun's JSSE extension. If you are using JDK 1.3 or earlier, you must install the JSSE packages. This can be downloaded from Sun at http://java.sun.com/products/jsse/index-102.html.
For more information on a specific menu item, choose from the following list:
Adds a node to the Explorer's tree under the selected node. The node created is dependent upon the node selected. For example, if you select a top-level node, such as Axis Servers, a new Axis node is created. If you select a Business List node or its children or the tModel List node in the UDDI Sites tree, new business and tModel nodes are created.
This menu command changes dynamically according to the node that's selected. For example, if a UDDI business is selected in the tree, the menu command becomes New Business Service. You can also right-click a node and choose New.
Deletes the selected node. The top-level nodes can't be deleted. This menu command changes dynamically according to the node that's selected. For example, if a UDDI operator node is selected in the tree, the menu command becomes Delete UDDI Site. You can also right-click a node and choose Delete.
Saves UDDI changes you've made during a session. This menu command is only available when a UDDI node is selected. The changes that are saved are dependent upon the node selected. You can choose a child of a node and only save changes to that node and nodes beneath it. You can also select a UDDI operator node or the Business List node and save all the changes. If you exit the Web Services Explorer without saving UDDI changes, the changes are lost.
This menu command changes dynamically according to the node that's selected. For example, if a service node named MyService is selected in the tree, the menu command becomes Save Changes To MyService.
There is also a Save Changes button on the toolbar for this command.
Publishes a web service hosted on an Axis server to a UDDI site. You must first set the UDDI business entry as the default publishing site. Right-click a UDDI business node and choose Set As Publishing Default. Then, select the Axis service in the tree below the Axis Servers node that you want to publish and choose File|Publish. You can also right-click the Axis service and choose Publish.
Opens the Import WSDL wizard, which generates Java classes from a WSDL document. You must have a node selected that contains a reference to a WSDL address or file to enable this menu command. For example, select a WSIL Documents node or a tModel node under a business service that contains a pointer to a WSDL file.
There is also an Import WSDL button on the toolbar for this command.
Closes the Web Services Explorer.
Executes the current UDDI query for a business or tModel.
There is also an Execute Query button on the toolbar for this command.
Controls the sort order of the query results.
Choose from these options:
Displays the UDDI Transport Settings dialog box where you can set the proxy, if your connection is through a proxy, and the timeout connection. Settings include proxy host, port, user name, password, and connection timeout for the UDDI connection.
Enables monitoring of the message traffic to the selected UDDI operator site. Select a UDDI operator node in the Web Services Explorer's tree before choosing this command. Once this command is enabled, you can view messages using the UDDI|View Messages command.
Note: The caching of messages slows the access to the UDDI site. Therefore, it's best to turn this feature off when you're not using it.
Displays a list of requests and responses to and from the UDDI operator site when the UDDI|Cache UDDI Messages command is enabled. Select a request or response from the list and choose View to see the source code.
Opens this help document.
Right-click a node in the Explorer's tree to access the context menu. Many of the menu commands are also on this menu. As with the menu commands, some of the context menu commands change dynamically according to the node that's selected.
When publishing a web service hosted on an Axis server, you must first set a UDDI business as the publishing default. Right-click a UDDI business node and choose Set As Publishing Default. Then, select the Axis service in the tree below the Axis Servers node that you want to publish and choose File|Publish. You can also right-click the Axis service and choose Publish.
The Web Services Explorer has a toolbar with the following icons.
