A few years ago, my master's thesis focused on improving UDDI. The short short version of the thesis proposed the following changes:
- Provide a simpler web service interface that just returns endpoints - Increase security by deprecating the security service in favor of a SAML based STS or something similar - Increase interop/usability by defining a rest style interface and providing hooks for the ebxml std - Advertise the location of UDDI services via a multicast Unfortunately, due to the state of the uddi working group at oasis and the exuberant costs of membership for participation, I feel like some my work was in vain. Thus, I'm writing to the jUDDI group. Is there any interest in perhaps making some of these things a reality? I'm willing to volunteer some time to make it happen (as well as make a more user friendly interface) Is it even worth it? Are there any stats on juddi deployments?
