How to expose a web service to the outside world?

Former Member

Hello,

i have created a Web service from a Session bean and successfully published it on one of my UDDI registries using the Admin tool.

At this point, what do I need to do further in order to expose this Web service not just in our LAN but to the outside world?

Hi,

The servername should be entered into the DNS server of your internet hosting provider.

And of course, your firewall settings should allow access.

Good luck,

10x, sounds logic.

Does the Web Service must be published at the UDDI in order to expose it to outside world? And if yes, why?

Thank you in advance,

Roy

Offcourse it should be published at UDDI.

Four play key roles in Web services: Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI), Web Services Description Language (WSDL), Web Services Inspection Language (WSIL), SOAP, and Web Services Interoperability (WS-I).

The UDDI specification defines open, platform-independent standards that enable businesses to share information in a global business registry, discover services on the registry, and define how they interact over the Internet.
