I absolutely agree…
… with Steve‘s comments about how the W3C TAG shouldn’t mandate a direct correlation between the wsa:To property and the underlying transport/application protocol-specific address. This would be similar to saying that every time I want to pay with my credit card by giving my credit card number, I have to tell the service provider how…

Problems with pblog
I would like to apologise to those experiencing problems with <savas:blog/>. It seems that due to the extra load on my small server there are some problems which I am trying to identify. It’s very likely that I will also have to implement some server-side caching. I’ve never thought that the traffic will be high…

Steve on Reference Properties
Great discussion (“EPR’s, RefP’s, and MSDN2”) from Steve on Reference Properties. I get the feeling that Steve is forgetting the opaqueness of RefProps and RefParams. It’s not the case that one could just safely put any value in the <version> element and create a new EPR that is useable. The consumer of an EPR should…

Excellent intro to Cw
“An overview of Cw” by Dave Obasanjo is an excellent introduction to those features of Cw that relate to the processing of relational and semi-structured data. Cw‘s concurrency related features are not covered. A great read! I can’t wait for Cw to be made available for .NET 2.0 which is what I use now. I…

Another addition to my WSE 3.0 wish list
Update: Title corrected. A couple of months ago, I posted an item for the WSE 3.0 wish list. Here’s another one… While working on one of the tools that we are going to present in a week or so, I needed to do the following but unfortunately WSE 2.0 doesn’t support it. In WSE, a…

Help with Sahana
I’ve been following Sanjiva‘s efforts to help with the Tsunami relief efforts in Sri Lanka. I just realised that I had forgotten to point to his appeal for help with the software development work. So, if you are a Java or a PHP programmer, please consider helping with the Sahana open source project.

“SOAP is really just another RPC protocol” ???
I just read this opinion article on “Are Web Services the New CORBA?” (Via Mark) “SOAP is really just another RPC protocol”? How can a specification about how to process messages in a particular format without any request-response semantics, without any dispatching semantics, without any notion of a procedure and parameters, be associated with RPC?…

One small step for WS-Addressing, one giant step towards MEST
(not towards REST Mark 🙂 One down, one to go 🙂 The MEST folks (well, the two of us) can be happier today. The REST camp seems happy too. So, Reference Properties are no more. Hurray!!! Despite what Mark supports, I think that in the future is all going to be about SOAP and not…

The one where I propose that the WS-Addressing TC considers the removal of Reference Props/Params
It has been suggested in the WS-Addressing WG, as a proposal for the resolution of issue #i001, that the Endpoint Reference (EPR) Reference Properties/Parameters contain the interaction data rather than being part of an identity. I agree about the identity part; EPRs should not be treated as identities. However, I believe that interaction data should…

The roles of services in service-orientated applications
I am back in Newcastle. The CoreGRID WP3 meeting in Pisa was not what I was expecting but the workshop in Crete turned out relatively ok (for the first in a series that is). There were a couple of interesting talks. There I met Ian Taylor in person (I knew about his work), one of…
