4. To add the user-defined taxonomy structure to the JAXR provider, specify

the connection property

com.sun.xml.registry.userTaxonomyFile-

names

in your client program. You set the property as follows:

props.setProperty
("com.sun.xml.registry.userTaxonomyFilenames",

"c:\mydir\xxx.xml|c:\mydir\xxx2.xml");

Use the vertical bar (

) as a separator if you specify more than one file

name.

Specifying Postal Addresses

The JAXR specification defines a postal address as a structured interface with
attributes for street, city, country, and so on. The UDDI specification, on the
other hand, defines a postal address as a free-form collection of address lines,
each of which can also be assigned a meaning. To map the JAXR

Postal-

Address

format to a known UDDI address format, you specify the UDDI format

as a

ClassificationScheme

object and then specify the semantic equivalences

between the concepts in the UDDI format classification scheme and the com-
ments in the JAXR

PostalAddress

classification scheme. The JAXR

Postal-

Address

classification scheme is provided by the implementation of JAXR in the

Application Server.

In the JAXR API, a

PostalAddress

object has the fields

streetNumber

street

city

state

postalCode

, and

country

. In the implementation of JAXR in the

Application Server, these are predefined concepts in the

jaxrconcepts.xml

file,

within the

ClassificationScheme

named

PostalAddressAttributes

To specify the mapping between the JAXR postal address format and another
format, you set two connection properties:

· The

javax.xml.registry.postalAddressScheme

property, which spec-

ifies a postal address classification scheme for the connection

· The

javax.xml.registry.semanticEquivalences

property, which

specifies the semantic equivalences between the JAXR format and the
other format

For example, suppose you want to use a scheme named

MyPostalAddress-

Scheme

, which you published to a registry with the UUID

uuid:f7922839-
