Abstract:
A web service is a standard way of interoperation between the software applications over different platforms or
frameworks. WSDL (Web Service Definition Language), in XML format, is used to describe the web service in a platform
independent way. The service explains the functional as well as the non functional properties. We introduce a new non
functional property that is known as â€˜criteriaâ€™. To include criteria information within the web service we have extended WSDL
to X-WSDL. WSDL schema is extended by adding a new element â€˜criteriaserviceâ€™ which is available in the new namespace. The
WSDL document is extended by adding new attributes â€˜criteria nameâ€™ and â€˜descriptionâ€™ to service element. Using this extension
it is possible to specify the criteria along with the service in X-WSDL document. A web service expressed in X-WSDL has to be
published in the extended UDDI, X-UDDI. In this paper we discuss the mapping between the X-WSDL and X-UDDI. We map the
attributes of service element with the BusinessServcie data structure of the X-UDDI. As a result, we are providing support to
publish a service more appropriate to userâ€™s requirement
