For the record, I hate ASP. I've used it and find it very slow and labor intensive to code.
I've been studying ASP.NET (not quite the same thing as ASP), and find it fascinating - but for the lower level coding, it can be twice as work intensive as ASP. I'll take Witango over ASP any day :-) Also, for the record, I've been helping Chuck with this project and we built a SOAP interface together to go to and from Witango and their ASP applications to exchange data and call processes. It's working very well. With that said. I think Chuck has a real battle ahead of him and he's not the first and won't be the last. That fact that these guys are using SOAP themselves AND have issues with another type of Application Server baffles me. Because SOAP is the ANSWER! By definition, SOAP is platform independent and doesn't care what environment creates the request and what platform returns the response - as long as the interchange is properly formed. Witango can play in the SOAP arena and the upcoming v5.0 will help to strengthen our position again. I like the idea of a 'face-to-face' session where these ASP guys can get a full demonstration of Witango can do - at this point, I think the blood would drain from their faces if they were challenged to a contest :-). But of course, the expense of traveling to meet these folks might put this option out of Chuck's reach. This battle will not be easily won, but everyone is providing some very valuable information here for Chuck (and potentially for the rest of us). And I just wanted to say "Thank You" for Chuck and potentially for the rest of us (including me). Cheers...
