I do realize that we
are only looking at a SOA Straw man/Demo. However, I would also like to add a
question to Cory’s:
Has any performance
benchmarking/load testing of ebXML registry been performed?
I’ll admit
straight away that I’m not very familiar with ebXML and therefore will
beg forgiveness if this is a silly question.

Farrukh,
I
don’t have a strong requirement for UDDI, we can see what others may
think. I can imagine 3 approaches for the community;
*
ebXML
*
UDDI
*
A community-specific service, perhaps wrapping one of the above.
I
haven’t looked at ebXML deeply in quite some time (I was part of the
initial release, mostly on the BPSS). I very much like the model but
couldn’t get much vendor support and thus the customer interest waned.
Does use of the registry imply that ebXML must be used for the other
roles? How is ebXML integration with non-ebxml services?

Is there a reason to be prescribing UDDI above? I would like to participate
with my open source freebXML Registry [1] , [2] which implements the OASIS
ebXML Registry standard [4] (not UDDI). The ebXML Registry standard is also an
ISO standard. It has a super set of functionality than UDDI [8].
There is a growing realization that a registry without an integrated repository
is inadequate for SOA [9] and that ebXML Registry is better suited for complex
SOA dpeloyments [10]. The basic premise is that "you can't govern what you
don't control". If artifacts are stored external to an integrated
repository then they cannot be effectively governed. I have made this very
point in [11].
Please let me know if above is a requirement or not. It does not seem to be a
requirement with IRS, DISA / DoD etc.
Thanks in advance for any clarifications.
