Are there any public UDDI registries available?

I am currently trying to get a grasp of UDDI and would like to run some examples with the inquiry API, but I can’t find public registries that I can query with my SOAP messages.

IBM, Microsoft and SAP used to host public UDDI servers a couple of years ago but that was discontinued.

I know xmethods contains a list of publicly available web services, but I would like to concentrate only on discovery of web services with UDDI (and not really call the services afterwards).

Does anyone know of any public UDDI registries available?

+1 A:

As you mentioned, Microsoft, IBM and SAP shut down their public UDDI back in 2007.

seekda (http://webservices.seekda.com/) is a search engine for public Web Services (although it is not UDDI based).

Even if there are public UDDI registries, the question is whether anyone looks in those registries when using a web service. I think that the answer is "no".

Ok, I understand that no one uses a UDDI registry to lookup web services to call (heck... I even stated in my question that I don’t want to call the service afterwards) but I do want to interact with a <b>real</b> UDDI registry. I can’t imagine that only IBM, Microsoft and SAP used to provide such registries and when they picked up their toys and left, the entire UDDI movement stopped.

They _were_ the UDDI movement.

You might be better installing jUDDI or something if this is just for learning and experimentation.

Although my feeling is that this particular standard has never really taken off and probably never will. There must be a reason that the public registries operated by large organisations have been shut down. Just a thought, before you commit too much time and effort to it.

Thanks for your answer. jUDDI is my second option. I would first like to use some concrete metadata not publish some of mine and then retrieve it (a real thing I think is more useful than a “Hello Word” UDDI thing).

Yeah -- I see what you are saying. That would be more interesting.

UDDI version 3 dates from 2002 (http://www.uddi.org/pubs/uddi-v3.00-published-20020719.htm) and the OASIS committee that defined it has been disbanded. So if a new version of jUDDI supports it, that doesn't mean there's any action on the specification.
