# How Do I: Publish a Web Service to a UDDI Directory?

Each UDDI directory has a different user interface. The UDDI directory included with WebLogic Server is called the UDDI Directory Explorer. You can access the UDDI Directory Explorer with the following URL:

> http://localhost:7001/uddiexplorer/index.jsp

WebLogic Server is configured with a private registry to which you may publish web services. To publish a web service:

1. In a browser, go to http://localhost:7001/uddiexplorer/index.jsp
2. Select Publish Private Registry.
3. Log into the UDDI Directory Explorer. The default username and password are weblogic.
4. To publish a service, you must complete the Service Information:

- In the Proj/Dept field, provide the name of the project or department providing the service.
- In the Service Name field, provide the name of the service.
- In the WSDL field, type the URL of your web service. This URL directs users who look up your web service to the Overview Page of Test View for your web service, from which they may obtain the WSDL file. For example, the URL of the HelloWorld sample web service is:
  http://hostname:port/samples/HelloWorld.jws
- In the Service Description field, give a description of the service.

5. Click Add Service.
6. On the next page, click Publish.
