Tony,
in MS-world all you need for a client is the
MS-SOAP-Toolkit, which is already available.
MS.NET really makes development & deployment of
WS (serverside) easy, because of the built in directives ie in C#
and the support in the ASP.NET (ASP+, ASPX). The
same basically rules for VB.NET and other languages.
We did some Web Service Client implementation with
the MS-Soap toolkit and came across a the problems with
SOAP-interoperability for complex types and the
point, that you need to implement some stuff using a low-level API,
which means, the automatic COM Object generation
from the WSDL does not work.
Biz Talk is not yet related, because it does not
support SOAP/Web Service endpoints for now. But what I know from Microsoft-near
folks is that it will be in the near future release (Biz Talk 2002
???)
Kind regards,
Christoph C. Cemper
