hey, hey! have you known about this new "webservices" stuff? with SOAP you can call remote code as it is here! and with WSDL you can create automatically the client!
- nullwasamistake 7y agoMan I miss WSDL. We're building it all over again with gRPC.
- docker_up 7y agogRPC is exactly like XDR and ONC-RPCs from the Unix days of the 90s, ex. NFS.
- adrianmonk 7y agoShort summary of web services: Phase 1: Ad hoc, free-for-all chaos. Phase 2: SOAP tries to bring order. It fails mainly because the "S" ("Simple") is a lie. Phase 3: Pendulum swings hard toward simplicity with HTTP plus JSON plus nothing else, thanks. Phase 4: Things shift possibly more toward the middle (a little structure), but none of the competing systems have become obvious winners.
- crehn 7y agoMost things in life seem to change like a pendulum learning from previous swings, slowly converging to a healthy middle. Extremes are useful since they give perspective and attractive since they're easy to grasp.
- Sevii 7y agoExcept for the fun time when the WSDL doesn't match the actual implementation because 'they don't support WSDL'. (despite serving one from their SOAP service)
- tracker1 7y agoOr worse, when the WSDL has a response type of "Object" ... OMG was this ever painful to generate clients for. Usually cheated and used Node as a bridge service.
