Hi,

this article gave me a good insight about what options we have w.r.t soap/http.

I have query regarding implementation of reliable Messaging using WSE 3.0 over http. Almost all the samples/documentation i got talk about using tcp. In my case i cannot use tcp (i need to connect a laptop to the server using wse and upload/downlaod data), and will have to implement reliable messaging over http. Could you throw some light on how i can achieve this ? or whether it is possible to use wse 3.0 for reliable messaging using http ?

regards

We have developed a webservice client in C++ using SOAP toolkit. Different requests are sent to the web service sequentially in a loop.

Problem is that if one request fails for genuine “TIMEOUT”, all successive request fails with “TIMEOUT”.

We have 1,2,3,4 and 5 request in a loop. Request 3 fails for genuine TIME OUT

1,2,3,4,5 -
1,2 – Success
3,4,5 – Failed

1,2,4,5,3
1,2,4,5 – Success
3 Failed

1,2,4,3,5

1,2,4 – Success
3,5 – Failed

3,1,2,4,5

All failed

Can anyone tell me why failure is happening? I know 3 is the culprit, but why it is affecting successive web service calls

Hi,
Thanks for you comments. Transport protocols for Web services is a big topic which is covered relatively poorly, especially SOAP/JMS. Unfortunately, I don’t have any updates to this post. I’m planning to do a post on the use of JMS for Web services but I can’t really say when it is going to happen.

Regards,
Alexander

Hi,

Your website is by far the best. The way you explain things made things so simple. I am now ask by my supervisor to come up with a transport standards for all our web service implementation. And I would like to know if you have any update on this article.
