Comparison of WCF and Existing Web services concepts

Hi all,

I was going through the WCf basic articles from MS..

I went through the CAR rental example....

Can any one let me know on how the existing problem of intregating between
applications is Overcome with WCF ....

any lil bit of explanation will help me ..

Thanks
Senthil

Just look at interop examples in PSDK. They show how both web services/web
client can talk to WCF clients/servers

WCF itself is not a new technology to solve interopability between different
applications but a much better programming model then the previous ones.

Interopability with WCF is managed through one of the HTTP/SOAP bindings
that exists for a WCF endpoint. Since HTTP is a RFC and SOAP a recomendation
from W3C, thoose are protocols that are possibly implemented and easy to
consume in other applications on other plattforms or on the .net plattform.

Hope this helps

Hi Patrik,

Thanks for the reply ...
am now in a learning state for .Net 3.0--WCF, WPF....
As you said that WCF is a better programming model, which can suite the
existing problems, can you let me know on the existing issues with the
current advanced web services ?

Can you let me know the limitations of the existing webservices and the edge
which we have on the WCF ..

Thanks
Senthil
