dinamically obtain web services url

[sigitm]

Hi,
I'm writing a web service (deployed in different machines), and a client that connects to these machines and uses their web service.

At the moment, the client obtains the web services WSDL url from a static text file.

Is it possible for the client to obtain web services url dinamically? Is there a sort of registry (known by both client and WSs) where active WSs can register themselves, and the client can read the active WSs url? Or another way to obtain web services url dinamically?

Thanks

yes, you can use a UDDI
