UDDI: Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration

Check out the free chapter on UDDI of the O'Reilly 'Java WebService' book by Tyler Jewell
http://oreilly.com/catalog/javawebserv/chapter/ch06.html

It gives a very nice overview on how to use UDDI in general as well as some good detail on how to use taxonomies.

Figure 2 shows a the admin console as part of the juddiv3 server. The juddi-gui runs in the same servlet container but it can run remotely as well since it connects to the server over HTTP/S only.

Finally if we zoom into the juddiv3 application itself, see Figure 3, it shows the various deployment options jUDDI gives you in terms of container and database choice, JPA and JAXWS providers and connection protocols.
