WebSphere® Service
Registry and Repository (WSRR) has a Java™ application
programming interface (API) so that you can develop Java applications that access WSRR at runtime
to find the most appropriate web service to use.
About this task
During development, you can perform tasks such as creating
documents in WSRR by using the Web-based user interface (UI). If you
are developing applications in an Eclipse environment, you can also
use an Eclipse plug-in UI to perform tasks such as searching for and
uploading services to WSRR. For more information about the Web-based
UI, see Managing services by using the web user interface; for more
information about the Eclipse plug-in UI, see Managing services by
using the Eclipse plug-in user interfaces.
Note: When developing applications
that use the API to access WSRR, you must take into account the security
configuration on the WebSphere Application
Server on which WSRR is deployed; see the
IBM® WebSphere Application Server
V6.1 Security Handbook for details on developing applications
in a secured environment.
Developing applications using the
API is described in detail in the following subtopics:
