I hope not, as we have an important web service feeding apps in WinForms, Silverlight and ASP.NET. Because it has to be "open", almost everything going in and out is an xml fragment that is optionally compressed as base64 strings. We are even considering an Android app client written in Java, assuming of course that it can consume a WCF basicHttp server and decompress the base64. I know Java can work with plain old SOAP services okay, but I haven't investigated if someone has bridged the slightly wider gap to WCF. Does anyone know for sure? Maybe there is a more modern "open" way of doing what I've described. Anyone? Greg K
