The simple answer is that you use UDDI. The more complicated answer requires
an understanding of where you are wanting to publish this service. Some
UDDI registries will provide a GUI tool and/or browser-based tool for registering
services. These tools perform the appropriate UDDI calls under the hood.
Other registries require that you use the UDDI API explicitly.

All you have to do is point your favorite tool, or perhaps write an application
that uses the UDDI API, to the location of the registry and supply a username
and password if your registry requires authentication. Then publish the
service to that registry.

If you are using IBM's WSTK (which I imagine that you are), then you can
access the wstk-tutorial.pdf document located in the tutorial folder in you
wstk directory. There is a good explanation there of how to publish a service
via UDDI.

You can also get a lot of good information from IBM's UDDI4J project website:
http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/uddi4j/

And from IBM's UDDI homepage: http://www-3.ibm.com/services/uddi/index.html

Finally there is the issue of which UDDI registry to publish to. You can
either publish to:
-a test registry -- http://www-3.ibm.com/services/uddi/index.html
-a local/private registry on your -- network http://myserver:7076/uddi
-a public registry -- go to the UDDI4j project site and click the "links"
menu item. You'll get a whole list. Also check out Xmethods.com

I hope this is helpful.
