LogicLibrary Offers Integrated Repository and Registry; Logidex Supports Industry Standard jUDDI Registry, Extending SOA Governance Leader's Commitment to Provide the Widest Variety of Choices for Leveraging New SOA Standards.

PITTSBURGH -- LogicLibrary(R), the leading provider of software development asset (SDA) management tools, today announced the integration of Logidex with jUDDI--the open source Java implementation of the Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) specification for Web Services.

Logidex, the most widely-used metadata repository for SDAs, makes it possible for organizations to govern the production process for reusable components, Web Services and other SDAs within a service-oriented architecture (SOA). In June 2004, LogicLibrary included capabilities in Logidex for governing the UDDI publication process. Since that time, LogicLibrary customers have been able to automatically control the publication of Web Services to their UDDI registries.

"Today's release is the latest step in LogicLibrary's efforts to deliver exactly what organizations need to tie together architecture, development and deployment efforts," said Alan Himler, vice president of product management and marketing at LogicLibrary. "By improving the management of operational UDDI registries, Logidex seamlessly brings together the development and operational views of services without locking in a single platform or compromising choice. LogicLibrary understands that supporting standards, not resisting them, is in the best interest of the marketplace. With this offering, Logidex adds seamless jUDDI support to its already broad range of automated UDDI governance capabilities, allowing organizations to greatly simplify the process of managing and promoting Web Services."

Logidex is a collaborative SDA management solution that enables the creation, integration and governance of enterprise applications throughout the complete application lifecycle. Its powerful mapping and discovery engine gives businesses and government organizations the ability to identify, manage and control the design, development and consumption of services throughout the distributed enterprise.

"It is important for enterprise users to understand that comparing UDDI and repositories is an apples-to-oranges comparison, because UDDI is a standard and repositories are products," said Jason Bloomberg, senior analyst, ZapThink LLC. "In fact, a well-designed repository, with strong UDDI support, enables organizations to most efficiently govern and utilize their software assets. The best SOA and Web Services products provide customers with multiple approaches, giving them the flexibility to choose what is most beneficial for their organization. It is refreshing to see LogicLibrary stand up for what customers really want: a broad range of deployment options all working together."
