Registering a Service

Now we will register a service at the membrane registry. After registering the repository will give us valueable information about the service and its availability. Make sure you have started the HRService and the registry is running. If not follow the steps in Starting DemoServices and/or Starting the membrane registry.

Registering a Service

By registering a service we can make a service description available in the registry. To register a service only a couple of steps are needed.

Copy the WSDL location of the HRService. Open the membrane registry main page using your browser. Follow the link Register Service.
