New Re: I don't buy it - My experience is opposite

I have all IBM's WS toolkits

Web Services Toolkit
VisualAge fo Smalltalk Web Services feature
WebSphereStudio Developer (Java) with Web Services

and I am finding I can do WS demos easier that any previous technology building the same type of function.

The Smalltalk WS facility is amazing - it has taken a while to get here but
it works and the performance is far better than I had imagined it would be.

One simple example - With VA Smalltalk I can create a Web Service in a few hours that accesses a COBOL program reading an ISAM file, and publish it as a web service and demo it. That is effectivel doing EAI.

If you are criticising the technologies, I suspect you may not have seen or tried some of the new tools that support it.

Give it a go, it is worth it

Cheers

Doug

New Yeah but you're all IBM so far
Interop with other SOAP toolkits is going to come dear I think.

But we'll see. I have to do some interop with external vendors and I'll certainly define some standard interfaces and give it a go. But I'm not at all optimistic that it will be any better than homegrown message formats over http.
