Chapter 8. UDDI Inquiry API: Quick Reference
This chapter provides a quick reference to the UDDI Inquiry API. The Inquiry API enables you to search existing data or retrieve specific records from a UDDI operator site. For an overview of the API and the UDDI Data Model, refer to Chapter 7.
A snapshot of each UDDI inquiry function is provided in Table 8-1. Later in this chapter, we examine the functions in detail, providing the following information about each function:
A brief description
The language syntax for UDDI 1.0 and 2.0
Descriptions of all function arguments
A list of possible error values
When possible, we also include one or more UDDI 1.0 examples for each function. Each of the examples was verified against the Microsoft UDDI Operator site. The chapter concludes with a brief overview of the UDDI find qualifiers, which enable more precise search criteria.
