Re: Printer Service discovery using SOAP in local network

Baljeet,

There are a number of ways to enable discovery.
- The simplest method is to create a Web page that describes your services
and supplies links to your WSDL files. This approach only supports human
discovery, though.
- Another approach is to use Web Services Inspection Language (WSIL - see
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-wsilspec.html).
IBM provides an implementation called WSIL4J. (see
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-wsil4j1/?dwzone
=webservices).
- And, of course, you can set up a private UDDI registry. Novell provides an
open source implementation. (see http://developer.novell.com/uddi/).
Systinet WASP UDDI is very popular (see www.systinet.com).

Best regards,
Anne
