Re: Doc-Style Web Clients

[Dennis Sosnoski]

Microsoft roadmaps have never struck me as being especially accurate 
(even the retrospective ones). Unless there's a total change in 
direction WS-I Attachments is going to use SwA (you can download the 
latest working group draft from the home page at http://www.ws-i.org/). 
Is there reason to believe that Microsoft is going to break 
compatibility with WS-I on this?

I've assumed that part of the reason for WS-I Attachments taking so long 
to be released is that Microsoft doesn't want it out until they have SwA 
support available.

Hi all - 

today, DIME is required for .NET interoperability when sending attachments.   Axis does support DIME.

and yes, MSFT is dropping support for DIME in the future.  it is being superseded by MTOM in their roadmap: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnglobspec/html/wsmsgspecindex.asp

Not sure if Microsoft will drop support for DIME but
DIME does not appear to be part of the WS-I attachments
work.
   

 

Since Microsoft seems committed to WS-I, I would think
whatever ends up in that document will at least be
added to the next release.

I heard grumblings awhile ago that Microsoft might be dropping support for
DIME in lieu of some WS-I discussions concerning attachments.  Might wanna
try googling around for more information, but this probably won't occur
until the next .Net/Vis Studio release anyway.

Subject: AW: Doc-Style Web Clients
How about passing the whole document as a single string parameter of a
doc/literal web service? Is there a  better performance to expect when using
SAAJ?
What i don't like about SAAJ: .NET requires the use of DIME format. I don't
know all platforms or toolkits used to develop the potential clients and so
i don't know if DIME is supported by them. The first time i heard of DIME
was when i was looking into SAAJ. Is DIME widly supported?
Thanks
