[juddi-Users] Basic questions about juddi usage...

[Mike Klein <mi...@sbcglobal.net>]

My happiness page seems fine...can get jdbc connection, etc.

1. Why when I access admin area does it simply show me the /juddi 
homepage? Shouldn't something else be shown?

2. What are inquiry/publish urls to use with jUDDI when using the open 
source browser or Sun's uddi browser? Are they standardized?

3. (Unrelated to juddi...extra credit question) Why do Tomcat JNDI 
DataSources have to be defined in server.xml and not in web.xml? It 
seems odd that I would have a data source defined only for /juddi 
context and that I couldn't do this in the .war/web.xml for this web 
application. For global datasources I would expect this behaviour, but 
not for webapp/local ones...

I am finishing a soap project I've been working on and uddi is the last 
step...

thanks in advance,

mike

Administer jUDDI [disabled by default for security reasons]
Check your webapp(juddi) index.html -- by default it points to /admin which
is not there,


2. What are inquiry/publish urls to use with jUDDI when using the open
source browser or Sun's uddi browser? Are they standardized?

it is  http://host/webapp/inquiry   or http://host/webapp/publish

For example, http://localhost/juddi/inquiry  and
http://localhost/juddi/publish

web.xml is not the place for defining resources, it is the place where you
reference
the resources defined in a server.

web.xml tells what is the name and what type of
Datasource it will work with, different servers implement the data sources
in different
ways and they need different parameters, so it is server specific.

Check the web.xml, you do have this,
  <resource-ref>
    <description>jUDDI DataSource</description>
    <res-ref-name>jdbc/juddiDB</res-ref-name>
    <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
    <res-auth>CONTAINER</res-auth>
  </resource-ref>
