Web Services interoperability resources

mcampos — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 00:03:00 GMT

One topic I was asked this week isrelated Web Services Interoperability, where I used the following links to understand the current state regarding WCF:

Use BasicHTTPBinding http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.servicemodel.basichttpbinding.aspx
Review the .NET Stock Trader sample (includes interop with WebSphere and Oracle Application Server and Web Logic): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/bb499684.aspx
Must take into account that not all tools are able to parse WSDL from WCF: http://blogs.thinktecture.com/cweyer/archive/2007/05/10/414840.aspx
Sun is working in a project for WCF compatibility: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/glassfish/ProjectTango/
Found a third party blog: http://www.kevingao.net/wcf-java-interop
Found tools to help with Contract First Design: http://wscfblue.codeplex.com/ and http://www.thinktecture.com/resourcearchive/tools-and-software/wscf/wscf-walkthrough
