Web Services Registry Integration

With Web services registry integration enabled by the Web services management solution from Actional, information learned through the governance process can also be easily shared with open-registry or repository products for a consolidated approach to service meta-data management.

Imagine a search being done on a service returning actual performance statistics or current service levels. Developers will have better information, enabling a better decision-making process, increasing SOA returns across the board. Better information also aids in planning and operations, primarily in the cost savings associated with reuse. Tangential results such as improved morale, lower support costs, and increased use of technology within the organization are important too.

The general architecture of registry integration follows.

Integrating runtime governance with a Web services registry and design time governance

Integration with Open Registries

A registry (or repository) is often used as the central index of service artifacts for architectural (design time) governance. The Web services management solution from Actional has a fully documented SOAP API, with full Web services security and tiered administration support for extensibility to any open registry product. Actional also supports deeper integration with other specific registries as part of the standard Actional product offering.
