Converting a fairly simple C# Class library into a COM object ?
Here's my problem: I have to call a web service with a secure header from a classic ASP page that returns a complex data type.

Stateful PHP Web Service Using SOAP
I'm trying to implement a stateful web service in PHP using the SOAP extension. (Yes I know that web services are supposed to be stateless; all I really care to persist is some form of a session ID so I don't need to authenticate with every call to the service). PHP.net's API documentation is somewhat lacking on this, and there isn't mu...
How do RESTful and SOAP Web Services differ in practice?
I am implementing web services for a PHP application and am trying to understand what both standard web services and RESTful web services have to offer.

Long Transaction Time Solution for JEE?
A problem I've encountered a few time in my career is in a tiered service architecture a single downstream system can bring down the entire client application if it gets into a state where all its threads are consumed on a deadlock or some sort of infinite loop bug in that system. Under these conditions the server socket on the JEE serve...
Which framework is better CXF or Spring-WS?
I am in the process of researching/comparing CXF and Spring-WS for web services? I need to function both as a provider and a consumer of WS. In a nutshell, I have been told that Spring-WS is more configurable, but CXF is easier to get up and running. This question is subjective, but will help direct me in my research. What experience d...
