Giants forging Web services consortium. Microsoft, IBM, Intel and BEA Systems plan to educate businesses on how to build Web services and how to ensure they do it in a compatible way, according to sources. [CNET News.com] Perhaps the folks on decentralization who've been flaming SOAP every which way recently are on to something after all. It doesn't seem to be a very positive message for web services, if some big consortium is needed to tell everyone how to build services that interop. If I was feeling really synical I might be tempted to point out that the web services tools BEA ship haven't been involved in the soapbuilders interop testing.

Success ! just sent a DIME packaged request from PocketSOAP, and my DIME enabled .NET server unpackaged it, and processed it :)

Henrik confirmed I was on the right track, just a few endianess issues to fix in the code. Anyone know the .NET equivilant to htonl ?

Any of the DIME folks in the crowd care to double check my resulting header byte sequence ?

James : "Is the WSDL message element really necessary?" I'd vote to ditch it as well.
