In addition, I'd ideally like to be able to control whet...
Its possible I am just really really thick. However, looking over the SDK for the live search (MSN search) that uses SOAP, doesn't tell me what URL the service is at?? I can download SDKs for C# or VB which probably encapsulate, but that doesn't help me (I am using ruby). http://search.live.com/developer/ ...
So I have made a webservice that interfaces with a set of data contained in a WMI namespace. It works fine when I run it with the ASP.net in built development web server, and returns the data as requested. However when I publish it to an IIS 6 server (win 2003), the webservice no longer allows me to execute the WMI method calls. However ...

Hy, I'm developing a Grails app which has to communicate with an existing J2EE application (built with EJB2). Both the "legacy" app and the new Grails app will offer services and consume them.

Is there a prebuilt tool that would integrate with BEA/Oracle Weblogic 10.0 and trace on a database table each call to a web service exposed by the server? UPDATE: the goal is not to debug the web services (they are working well). The objective is to trace each call on a table, using an existing add-on. ...

The GetVersions() call to the Versions.asmx web service in SharePoint 2003 returns a localised date format, with no way of determining what the format is. It's the site regional setting of date format, but I can't find a way to get even that out of SharePoint 2003. Locally, it looks like SPRegionalSettings can be used (http://msdn.micros...

In a typical scenario, a Web Service calls the Authorization service at the start of execution to check that the caller is allowed to call it. The problem is tho...
