Hosting WSE2.0 Soap Receivers

If you're doing ASMX web services with or without WSE2.0 then you've got a nice host process (aspnet_wp.exe or w3wp.exe) to host your application for you. So, if someone comes along and tries to get to http://someserver.com/someservice.asmx then IIS and Read More...

SharpReader

Running SOAP messages through SQL Server with WSE 2.0

So, this posting is really just for fun. I wanted to have a play at writing an additional transport for the WSE 2.0 and I struggled to think of a good transport that was missing that wasn't going to be too hard for me to write :-) Some things that came Read More...

Code Generation

I happened upon a new application generation tool today over here http://www.care-t.com/index.html under the name of OlivaNova. It sounds quite interesting and I like the separation of a set of modelling tools from a generation engine that takes models Read More...

Playing with EndpointReferences, WS-Addressing in WSE 2.0

There's a class named EndpointReference in the WSE2.0 framework. This class is used when you want to register a listener for SOAP messages and it's also used for addressing SOAP envelopes. On first glance it looks like an EndpointReference has a one to Read More...
