Top Ten Tips for Web Services Interoperabilityhttp://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspxI thought it might be fun to put together a "Top Ten Tips for Web Services Interoperability" - especially between .NET and IBM WebSphere, BEA WebLogic and some of the open source toolkits. I'd love to add other people's experiences, findings and commentsen-USCommunityServer 2.1 SP1 (Build: 61025.2)re: Top Ten Tips for Web Services Interoperabilityhttp://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#213669Thu, 12 Aug 2004 19:14:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:213669DavidIn addition to 3: Make sure you use Wrapped for your .Net server, not Bare. <br> <br>That is the easy solution, alternatively you can do this: Make sure you have exactly ONE parameter per operation, AND make sure that no two operations per service have the same type for that one parameter. Yes, Wrapped is easier ;) <br> <br>This again is required for WS-I BP compliance with the (awful) R2710 and R2712.Interoperability woes - beware!http://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#213715Thu, 12 Aug 2004 23:23:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:213715Christian Weyer: Smells like service spiritTop Ten Tips for Web Service Interoperabilityhttp://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#214074Fri, 13 Aug 2004 15:32:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:214074Geoff StockhamWeb serviice interophttp://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#214237Fri, 13 Aug 2004 19:57:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:214237Girish Bharadwajre: Top Ten Tips for Web Services Interoperabilityhttp://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#214368Fri, 13 Aug 2004 21:07:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:214368Billy LoA few others that I learned from experience: <br> <br>1) avoid fancy xsd features (union, list, choice, attributeGroup) <br> <br>2) remember that &lt;xsd:restriction&gt; are not enforced at runtime. No schema validation for both .NET and WebSphere <br> <br>3) use elementFormDefault=&quot;qualified&quot; all the time (I ran into some problem during .NET 1.0 days with empty namespace) <br> <br>4) avoid overloading method names <br> <br>5) beware of case (in)sensitivity in specific languages and reserved words <br> <br>6) remember that the client and server can be in different timezones. this can present problem when you need to present date/time on the .net client using the server's timezone. <br> <br>7) this one is Java specific: if you do bottom-up (java2wsdl) with arrays, make sure your java class follows the javabean convention (i.e. must implement the indexed accessors.) <br>Simon Guest: Top Ten Interop Tipshttp://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#214390Sat, 14 Aug 2004 01:09:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:214390Matt PowellTop Ten Tips for Web Services Interoperability - Simon Guesthttp://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#214395Sat, 14 Aug 2004 01:29:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:214395SoftwaremakerTop Ten Tips for Web Services Interoperability - Simon Guestre: Top Ten Tips for Web Services Interoperabilityhttp://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#215652Tue, 17 Aug 2004 12:41:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:215652Adrian TurtschiNumber 1 for all Microsofties: Do NOT send DataSets.Designing Web Services for Interoperabilityhttp://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#216664Wed, 18 Aug 2004 22:14:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:216664The XML FilesDesigning Web Services for Interoperabilityhttp://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#216666Wed, 18 Aug 2004 22:14:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:216666The XML FilesContract-first: do you believe?http://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#221623Fri, 27 Aug 2004 21:22:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:221623The XML FilesContract-first: do you believe?http://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#221626Fri, 27 Aug 2004 21:24:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:221626The XML FilesTop Ten Tips For Web Service Interoperabilityhttp://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#222900Tue, 31 Aug 2004 00:12:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:222900On the road to IndigoTop Ten Tips for Web Services Interoperabilityhttp://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#223220Tue, 31 Aug 2004 14:44:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:223220:: AB ::Top Ten Tips for Web Services Interoperabilityhttp://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#223221Tue, 31 Aug 2004 14:44:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:223221:: AB ::Top Ten Tips for Web Services Interoperabilityhttp://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#223915Wed, 01 Sep 2004 16:18:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:223915numlock.ch :: a changelog by Daniel Mettlernice list: Top Ten Tips for Web Services Interoperability (via Sascha)...If You Need Web Service Interop...http://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#228653Mon, 13 Sep 2004 10:46:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:228653Gary ShortIf You Need Web Service Interop...http://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#228686Mon, 13 Sep 2004 12:25:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:228686Gary ShortInheritance in types returned by a WebService - good or bad idea?http://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#239500Fri, 08 Oct 2004 01:48:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:239500Jonathan Cogley's BlogInheritance in types returned by a WebService - good or bad idea?http://blogs.msdn.com/smguest/archive/2004/08/12/213659.aspx#239508Fri, 08 Oct 2004 01:59:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:239508Jonathan Cogley's BlogWeb Services Group : : ??????????????????
