The
UDDI spec has a subscription API (implementation optional) that is to be used
to essentially notify clients of changes.
Have you seen anything about potential additions to the spec
to accommodate a leasing model between services and the registry (i.e. if the
registry hasn't seen a lease renewal from a service in some time then it
is dead and cleaned up after)? I can understand that you may want a service
registration to persist even without a lease renewal but this could be
specified at service registration time and subject to policy that is enforced
on the registry side. I would think that the problem of an ever growing
registry containing many dead endpoint/access point references to services
would make this an attractive option.
Many
