Hi, I have some good news to report - I found poblems with the same samples in the RC1. I know from previous use of the RC1 that those problems did not exist before. So this means that either there is something wrong with my environment - network issues, or installed JAR versions (I am on a different machine than the one I normally use) or the external services used by those samples have changed in some way, both of which absolve WSIF of responsibility :-) But of course weneed more testing to identify why this is happening. Nirmal.
