Re: [wsrp-primer] Can we get our samples going?

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

I wasn't actually waiting for them. I decided I wanted them as I got 
back to the task. I realized that I really want to see the tutorial 
approach more fully realized. For me that meant to have consistency 
from Service Description, Registration and Markup to Use Profiles. I 
came to this conclusion because I have been using other materials, 
specifically the Web Services Interoperability Beta Testing program 
for the government's Enterprise Architecture program and for 
Emergency Services in general and the Common Alerting Protocol in 
particular.

I also decided, or had it decided for me, that this particular 
example needed to use Apache Tomcat and Axis for me, apart from the 
collaboration I have going, because that is what the govt uses for 
cost reasons I presume. However, I ran smack into a specific example 
using XMLSPY that simply did not work as the Guide showed, and it was 
damn near impossible to ferret out what the problem was. It happened 
to be on their end, and not from the remote computer I was using to 
test the networking connections.

 From there I went on to testing Sun's Web Service Developer's Pack 
and found that these different approaches, along with IBM's Web 
Sphere all handled these non-normative instructional materials very 
differently.

That's why I think we should consider including Appendices for Java 
and .Net and maybe the Apache Web Services projects. It might even be 
a good idea to make a long term plan to approach all these extras by 
coordinating Interop, Conformance SC work to generate these materials.

Just a few thoughts.

Ciao,
Rex
