We're all aware of what service contracts are. It all boils down to: I have to ensure that a variety of foreign platforms can easily consume the basic http binding web service. So how? Do the tools already exist and I don't have to do anything? Things like Mr Java and Mr Swift sound great, but they never turned up in any searches I've run and I still can't find anything useful (anyone used them?). I have found code examples of Java and Swift reading a web service, but they are all childishly simple. Most samples consume REST style services. I think I might have to manually publish a REST style service in parallel with the old one. Extra confusion surrounds the use of complex "types" in my old contract, all of which get turned into class "stubs" by svcutil ... will that hinder other clients? I could make the REST service receive and respond with plain XML and avoid types completely, which I've done in another working service. I can't decide until I know more about what the various client platforms prefer. *Greg*
