# How Do I: Get a WSDL from a UDDI Registry and Turn It into a Web Service Control?

WebLogic Workshop provides a way to get a WSDL from a public or private UDDI registry and bring it in as a Web Service control in your JWS file.

To Take a WSDL from a UDDI Registry and Add it as a Control

1. In Design View, from the Insert menu, select Controls-->Web Service. The Insert Control - Insert Web Service dialog appears.
2. In the Step 1 pane , enter a name that your web service will use to reference the control to be created from the WSDL. The name must be a valid Java identifier.
3. In the Step 2 pane, click Create a new Web Service control to use and provide a new JCX Name.
4. In the Step 3 pane, click UDDI. This button opens the UDDIExplorer, a web application that allows you to browse both public and private registries for web services stored as WSDL files.
5. Use the Search a Public Registry and Search a Private Registry links to locate a WSDL. There is also an Explorer Help link on the web application page if you need assistance.
6. When you find the WSDL file you wish to use as a Web Service control, copy the URL for the WSDL and return to the Insert Control - Insert Web Service dialog.
7. Paste the URL for the WSDL into the File or URL box.
8. Click Create.

A JCX file is created in the same directory as the web service to which it was being added, and a reference to that control will be added to your web service. This control can now be used to access the web service represented by the WSDL.
