Asha,

It depends on the topography of your application.  If your application
resides in a "walled garden" and all the clients are under the authority of
the same organization, there is no problem  in deploying the
registry/repository as a directory service.  This would assume a ldap based
registry client. If the application is exposed to the internet at large then
you would probably want to use a ldap gateway in front of your ldap
database.  The gateway would translate SOAP and/or ebMS based messages to
ldap queries. Generally, organizations don't expose databases to
unrestricted clients for security reasons. This would create the more
traditional registry/repository architecture (i.e., the registry functions
would be embedded in the gateway and the repository storage requirements
would handled by the ldap database).

Hi,
    I'm new to ebXML. I know ebXML registrory/repository is a database.
Can anybody tell me whether ebXML registry/repository can be maintained
as single database rather as repository as data warehouse and registory
as directory services/database. Hope to receive a speedy reply


Best Regards
Asha Morais
