Hi,
I'm working on my first project using an external supplier, who will develop some web services for the company I work for.
My question is - at what stage of the project lifecycle would you expect the WDSL (and any associated Schemas) to be delivered?
Personally, I think it's a service contract, so I wouldn't expect it to be unreasonable to be delivered at functional design stage; although I guess you could argue so long as it's all documented (names, lengths, formats, etc.) in a functional spec document that's ok. And the WDSL itself would be delivered at component design / development stage?
Your thoughts & experiences are welcome.
Thanks.
