Where's My Plane? End-to-End Web Services with UDDI 2.0 and XML Web Services

This article demonstrates a real--world implementation of web services, using UDDI and XML web services in .NET. Author Steven Livingstone leads you through a practical application that uses a web service to get flight information. The article begins with an overview of UDDI, some of the problems encountered when working with web services, and the ideas behind dynamic discovery of web services. As you work through the application, Livingstone introduces to a number of important topics, including web service application architecture, how to query UDDI for business information, how to use UDDI for dynamic service invocation, and how backup services can be dynamically found at runtime.
