Description

The delete_service API call is used to remove one or more previously businessService elements from the UDDI registry and from its containing businessEntity parent.

Upon successful completion, a dispositionReport is returned with a single success indicator. If a business service being deleted is the target of a business service projection associated with another businessEntity, that reference relationship will be automatically eliminated as a result of this call. All contained bindingTemplate data will also be removed from the registry as a result of this call. Any references to bindingTemplates so removed will not be affected.
