At this time, most of you have probably heard about the Web Services Interoperability Toolkit for Java (a.k.a. Project Tango), which enables maximal interoperability between the upcoming Windows Communication Foundation on .NET and the Java world. If not, go see…

Finally, with a lot of help from sgen.exe and a number of very talented inidividuals, I got the complex types to work this morning. The biggest issue was the way WCF compares Strings: Java does sttring interning, .NET does not…
Well, I really do not have any big secrets to uncover, but I wanted to point you WCF developers to an extremely useful tool: sgen.exe. In itself the tool is quite handy, since you can pre-generate and compile serialization code…
There is the obvious question on why FastInfoset and – more importantly for me at this time – why on Indigo (WCF)? A lot of customers – particularly in the financial industry – have expressed their concern about XML and…
Huh? How are these two things related at all? Well … On last Friday I had a terrible Hard Drive crash, eliminating about 10 days worth of FIFI coding. That resulted – obviously – a lot of unhappy coding over…
WS-Addressing is as of today eleveated to a full W3C recommendation. Congratulations to Marc Hadley … (for making the web services world a little bloatier ;-)) Web Services WS-Adressing
WCF can be quite annoying – that is, it sometimes does thing in a way I personally don’t like. While happily coding FIFI (the Fast Infoset implementation for WCF that will be demoed on JavaOne), I noticed that the System.ServiceModel.Message.Write(XmlWriter)…
XML and Web services are loosely coupled, right? And loosely coupled and object references do usually not play nice together… This is quite interesting: It looks like you can preserve object references and pass them along when setting the preserveObjectReference…
If you are at all interested in non-SOAPy web services, you might want to take a close look at WADL, the Web Application (!) Description Language. It is an XML based language that can be used to describe general HTTP-based…
On May 17, 2006 at 9:30pm Paul, Santiago and I will host a BOF on “Project FIFI – Bridging the Interoperability Chasm”. FIFI (Fast Infoset For Indigo) is a prototype project that aims at bringing the Fast Infoset ITU-T/ISO standard…
