Administration and Configuration

There are several different ways to administrator and configure jUDDI. This section will outline and/or link to relevant information to assist you. There are two ways to configure and reconfigure jUDDI, via the XML file and through your web browser.

Configuration via juddiv3.xml

The jUDDI web services are typically first configured via manually editing the juddiv3.xml file, located at the following location:

<servletContainer>/juddiv3/WEB-INF/classes/juddiv3.xml

Note: version prior to 3.2 used a properties (key=value) file. Version 3.2 and up use an XML configuration file. Many of key names have changed to help cluster settings logically.

Configuration via Browser

Once jUDDI is deployed, it can be reconfigured via the web browser by accessing:

http://<server>:<port>/juddiv3/admin

Then click on "Configure".

Using Cryptographic Providers to Protect Credentials

jUDDI includes a number of Cryptographic providers that are provided with most Java Runtime environments. Not all of the functions will operate in all countries due to various legal restrictions.

  • Triple Data Encryption Standard

  • Advanced Encryption Standard 128 and 256 bit

  • Password Based Encryption With MD5 and DES

For convenience, administrators can use a command line utility to encrypt passwords that are stored within the jUDDI server and client configuration files.

Configuration Database Connections

See the Database Connections guide.

Changing the Web Server Listen Port

If you want to change the port Tomcat listens on to something non-standard (something other than 8080), use the following guidance.

jUDDI Server (Tomcat) - This assumes you are using the jUDDI server bundled with Apache Tomcat. For other application servers, consult their documentation, however the juddiv3.xml must still be altered.

  • Edit conf/server.xml and change the port within the <Connector> element.

  • Edit webapps/juddiv3/WEB-INF/classes/juddiv3.xml and change the port number jUDDI Server Baseurl.

  • Edit webapps/juddiv3/WEB-INF/config.properties and change the port numbers for "securityurl" and "juddipapi".

  • Edit webapps/juddi-gui/META-INF/config.properties and change the port numbers for all of the URLs listed.

Administering Users and Access Control

Monitoring the Status and Statistics

How to deploy jUDDI to

There are a few options for deploying jUDDI to another application server and/or web service stack. . Grab the default prebuilt war file and modify it to work in your environment . Download the source code for jUDDI and run the maven integration script. Use the following steps

  1. Target platform Tomcat and Derby using OpenJPA and CXF. Both OpenJPA and CXF are packaged up in the juddiv3.war. <pre> mvn clean package -P openjpa </pre>

  2. Target platform Tomcat and Derby using Hibernate and CXF. Both Hibernate and CXF are packaged up in the juddiv3.war. <pre> mvn clean package -P hibernate </pre>

  3. Target platform Tomcat and Derby using OpenJPA and Apache Axis2. Both Hibernate and Axis2 are packaged up in the juddiv3.war. <pre> mvn clean package -P axis2 </pre>

  4. Target platform JBoss-6.x and HSQL using Hibernate and JBossWS-native. The juddiv3.war relies on Hibernate and JBossWS-native in the appserver. <pre> mvn clean package -P hibernate-jbossws-native </pre>

  5. Target platform JBoss-6.x and HSQL using Hibernate and JBossWS-cxf. The juddiv3.war relies on Hibernate and JBossWS-cxf in the appserver. <pre> mvn clean package -P hibernate-jbossws-cxf </pre>

KNOWN ISSUES

  1. 15:14:37,275 SEVERE [RegistryServlet] jUDDI registry could not be started. org.apache.commons.configuration.ConfigurationException: java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file: org.apache.commons.configuration.ConfigurationException: org.apache.commons.configuration.ConfigurationException: java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file

Workaround: deploy juddiv3.war as a directory (not a zip file).

II. JBoss-5.x Note that configuration 3 and 4 will also run on JBoss-5.x, but you may run into the following: ERROR [org.jboss.ws.metadata.wsdl.xmlschema.JBossXSErrorHandler] (main) [domain:http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-schema-1]::[key=src-resolve]::Message=src-resolve: Cannot resolve the name ns1:Signature to a element declaration component. for which there is the following workaround:

  • Unzip the deployers/jbossws.deployer/jbossws-native-core.jar and add the xmldsig-core-schema.xsd in the schema directory,

10293 Fri May 27 14:40:40 EDT 2011 schema/xmldsig-core-schema.xsd
  • Edit the file META-INF/jbossws-entities.properties by adding a line at the bottom saying:

http\://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#=schema/xmldsig-core-schema.xsd

Changing the Oracle Sequence name

If you are using Hibernate as a persistence layer for jUDDI, then Oracle will generate a default sequence for you ("HIBERNATE_SEQUENCE"). If you are using hibernate elsewhere, you may wish to change the sequence name so that you do not share this sequence with any other applications. If other applications try to manually create the default hibernate sequence, you may even run into situations where you find conflicts or a race condition.

The easiest way to handle this is to create an orm.xml file and place it within the classpath in a META-INF directory, which will override the jUDDI persistence annotations and will allow you to specify a specific sequence name for use with jUDDI. The following orm.xml specifies a "juddi_sequence" sequence to be used with jUDDI.

Persistence

jUDDI supports both OpenJPA and Hibernate as persistence providers. If you are embedding jUDDI, it is important to note that there are two JARs provided through maven. If you will be using Hibernate, please use the juddi-core JAR, if you are using OpenJPA, use juddi-core-openjpa.

The difference between these JARs is that the persistence classes within juddi-core-openjpa have been enhanced (http://people.apache.org/~mprudhom/openjpa/site/openjpa-project/manual/ref_guide_pc_enhance.html). Unfortunately, the Hibernate classloader does not deal well with these enhanced classes, so it it important to note not to use the juddi-core-openjpa JAR with Hibernate.

Logging

The jUDDI codebase uses the commons-logging-api, and log4j as the default logging implementation. The juddiv3/WEB-INF/classes/commons-logging.properties sets the logging to log4j. The default log4j configuration logs to a juddi.log file in the tomcat/logs directory. The log4j configuration lives in the juddiv3/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties file, which is referenced in the web.xml

<context-param>
    <param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties</param-value>
</context-param>

The commons-logging and log4j jars are shipped in the juddiv3/WEB-INF/lib directory.

If you are using CXF for the webservice stack you can log the request/response xml by adding

log4j.category.org.apache.cxf=INFO

to your log4j.properties and the cxf.xml file should contains this:

<cxf:bus>
    <cxf:features>
        <cxf:logging/>
    </cxf:features>
</cxf:bus>
The jUDDI beans.xml specifies the location of this file at _META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml_.
