Should web services throw exceptions OR result objects.

I'm not sure I'm completely happy that throwing exceptions in web services is a good idea. I wouldnt mind as much if it wasn't for the stack trace. This is not something I wan't. I have researched around several implementations and there really doesn't seem to be a consensus on this. CampaignMonitor for example does return a Result obj...

Which programs can I use to test my ASP.NET webservice which requires some SOAP HEADER?

Hi folks, I've been given this legacy app to do some bugtesting. Joy :( It's a simple webservice written in C# -> api.asmx. Now, the trick for testing it, is that it requires some SOAP HEADER for authentication. I know I can just go to the asmx page, and it gives me all the api methods that are exposed. Clicking on those methods gives ...

Web service response compression

Hi, i'm trying understand what are consequences of enabling compression for web service response. Web service is implemented as IIS hosted WCF service with http binding.

What is the safest way to implement Web Services / API?

I have a web site with users and their data accordingly.

My concern is that having the username and password as an input is dangero...

Soap under Java 1.3 with Axis

I am writing a Java web service for legacy SCO machines (which only have Java 1.3 available). I have been able to get more recently-added XML parsing functions integrated by including the Xerces jar on my classpath.

Is there a good alternative to PHP's SOAP extension?

I have a project which relies heavily on PHP's SOAP extension. It's great, and works wonderfully. However, I have to deploy a version of the software on a server that does NOT have the extension (it is PHP5 though). At this time, changing hosts is not an option; and it looks like installing the extension is also not an option. Is there...

I have an environment in which I cannot add another HTTP container (whether ServiceHost, IIS, etc.) but I still need to process SOAP requests (represented as strings) with a WCF web service.
