Brixlogic: Next generation XML services

Interoperability Seems to Remain Elusive: "As a result, while the XML schema instance describing the service seems to describe an XML element, what is actually presented is a (.NET+XML) service or a (Java +XML) service--a hybrid containing information that ties the service to its originating platform, which can create costly interoperability issues."

While this sort of thing is not encouraging, (XML and Schema are suppose to supply a common carrier understood unambiguously by any back-end programming system), maybe it is a minor 'fly in the ointment', a political football that just will not go away.( C# <--/--> Java.) Makes for a niche market for companies willing to serve as translators and 'referees'.

In the big picture, interoperability problems may be over emphasized. There are many interesting XML applications that have evolved based on centralized models that use well defined and unambiguous XML types that are not susceptible to interoperability issues.; Posted by: Peter Komisar Posted on: 03/07/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
