Jeffrey P Shell: Objects and the WebZope, SOAP, WebObjects, Servlets, .NET, Pink.Marshalling - the good point of XML-RPC and SOAP.- May 7, 2002 Looking back at Sam Ruby's article, Google's Genius, he mentions my favorite point in favor of SOAPRPC: Perhaps the most illumining part of Paul's essay is when he describes his optimized doSpellingSuggestion API. In this case, he declares that XML is overkill for the job. Unquestionably, omitting XML in some cases creates a tighter data stream. It can also require custom marshallers and parsers to be written. More tradeoffs to consider. The second to last sentence is.http://radio.weblogs.com/0106123/categories/objectsAndTheWeb/2002/05/07.html#a92 WSDL generating- May 7, 2002 Earlier, I started writing up some thoughts in response to Jon Udell's Web Services post today, particularly the part about WSDL Autogeneration. Jon says: The classes you'll want to annotate for such treatment should, in many cases, be abstractions of those that implement behavior. Creating such abstractions is, of course, more work -- and the kind of work that doesn't easily yield to automation. Sounds like Interfaces. Which is where my post was going earlier, but I found flaws in my...http://radio.weblogs.com/0106123/categories/objectsAndTheWeb/2002/05/07.html#a90 Jaguar Notes- May 6, 2002 Apple's Jaguar Page is up. Something hypr-cool Sherlock 3 is actually Karelia's Watson, a really cool app showing how a desktop application can make use of web available data without succumbing to Microsoft's "Everything IS a web page" type interface.http://radio.weblogs.com/0106123/categories/objectsAndTheWeb/2002/05/06.html#a88 Verbosity and Web Services, again. Does Dave Winer really get it- May 4, 2002 Forward: a few hours ago, after getting home from dinner with friends, I was reading more on Web Services, and found this article on Wrapping Web Service APIs on ORN by Stephan Figgins. It somehow led me back to an old Scripting News post that somewhat rankled me when I first read it. I'm finally posting my response. At 2AM, saturday morning. Does Dave Winer get Web Services This posting talks about the overhead involved in publishing a web service via .NET. I admit, my experience with...http://radio.weblogs.com/0106123/categories/objectsAndTheWeb/2002/05/04.html#a78 Accessory Update- May 4, 2002 Updated "EUCCI accessories" document, which covers the XML-RPC services I found already existed on my old Zope 2.2 server, as well as the new one I wrote today.http://radio.weblogs.com/0106123/categories/objectsAndTheWeb/2002/05/03.html#a77 AppleScript Studio, XML-RPC, and Zope- May 4, 2002 I found this article while browsing around today about using AppleScript Studio and Filemaker, and I finally had the nerve to do what I've been meaning to do for a long time - expose the hypr list of urls for euc.cx as a list of mappings, and start learning AppleScript AppleScript Studio. I did it. Pretty easily too. I followed the first half of the article, but instead of using Filemaker to fill in the data source, I used a new DTML Method on my site called hyprSWNK. I got that app going..http://radio.weblogs.com/0106123/categories/objectsAndTheWeb/2002/05/03.html#a76 |
