Okay. Lets start from scratch then. The basics of any registry...what do we want from it? Based on that we can decide what the RegistryEntry class would need to contain. Since we are keeping the Registry independent of UDDI we need to have an abstraction layer over here as well. I guess we will need inputs about the requirements. The very basic functions of any regiistry are Inquiry and Update 1) Inquiry - Who is inquiring the Registry? How is the inquiry taking place? 2) Updates - The services will need to get registered in the Registry. How would the users do this? 3) Authentication - I suppose we would require authentication modules for the Registry. Since the Registry will be stand alone, we may need to figure out this. 4) Finally Rosetta has a Registry. How much can we reuse from it. Thoughts on these?
