Time for action – looking at the jUDDI registry database
Let's take a look at the database, specifically the services that are registered. Luckily, JBoss AS provides us with an easy tool to view the database through a UI.
Find the tool by going to http://localhost:8080/jmx-console.

When the Database MBean properties are displayed, select the StartDatabaseManager operation and press the Invoke button:
At this point the UI will open. Select File | Connect, and fill in the connection properties. The database URL should contain the same information as is displayed in the juddi-ds.xml file that we saw previously:
We'll explore the registry hierarchy after getting just a bit more background on ho JBoss ESB uses the registry.
