[edit] Steve's affiliations
Here are my affiliations for anyone worried about neutrality.
- [HP] /[HP Laboratories] staff member, where I work on [SmartFrog] (paid)
- [Apache Software Foundation] member (unpaid)
- [Apache Ant] developer, indirect income via the Ant in Action book.
- Former [Apache Axis] Developer (unpaid)
- Part time work project, Alpine, to do a new SOAP stack. (paid)
- Participant in Grid-related standards based on [WS-RF] (paid)
I have a lot of experience in [Web Services], WS-*, [SOAP], standardisation of the aforesaid things, and am firmly in the [REST] camp, primarily through disillusion with the fundamental problems of SOAP. That is [WSDL] as an usuable language for reading or writing by humans, SOAP-over-HTTP as the worst of both worlds in terms of transport.
