A generic class for implementing protocol handlers in Indigo
In my “Indigo adventures” post I showed how one could write a new channel which can be used to implement a WS-* protocol. After watching the Indigo SDR content, I still think this to be the recommended way of implementing an infrastructure protocol (even though I am still not absolutely certain… Indigo folks may correct…

Indigo SDR content
All the content from the last Indigo Software Design Review (SDR) is now available online. I wish I knew about this before getting inside Indigo on my own. But then again, I wouldn’t have had the fun of finding problems that needed solving 🙂 I am starting to go through these presentations now so if…

Indigo adventures
Those interested in Indigo would have probably seen by now the many introductory posts on how to write services, use bindings, use output/input channels, service/message/data contracts, etc. The Indigo community is doing a fantastic job to provide examples of how to use Microsoft‘s new technology for distributed computing. As everyone else, as soon as I…

WSDM as a standard – the other side
The commentary from Tim Bray (“Stop WSDM”), Grek Pavlik (“WSDM Standardization: Just Say No (For Now)”), Mark Little (“Why WSDM isn’t ready for primetime (yet)”), me, and I guess others made Mark Potts reply (“Response to Stop WSDM”). First, my apologies to Mark for the lack of support for formatted comments on my blog. He…

Random thoughts on Robert’s random thoughts
In a discussion over at Sam Ruby‘s blog and on his “Distributed state machines” post, Robert Sayre made a random thought which I find intriguing. In a service-oriented world, like that promoted by MEST, where integration between services happens through metadata-sharing about the services’ messaging behaviours (described in languages like SSDL), could such route-finding algorithms…

WS-Web (The Web using SOAP:-)
Just joking… I haven’t come up with yet another specification. While travelling to Seoul, however, I was thinking about the on going discussion on REST vs SOAP. This is my small contribution to this discussion: An implementation of the ‘Web’ using SOAP 🙂 Background reading Lately the REST and SOAP folks have been busy arguing…
