Vista - Calling Indigo WebService from JavaScript in web browser

Hi,
I'm going to develop webservices on Indigo.

I need to stay compatible with non-Indigo clients, particularly call the web
service from JavaScript in web browser.
Microsoft used to supply WebService.htc behavior for this but the download
page says in red print that it is not supported anymore. What would be the
up-to date method to do it ? Is there any sample available for this ?

Thanks for help.
Jan

If you do not want to use the interfaces provided by Atlas, you can
program the XmlHttpRequest object directly with JavaScript. However, if
you work with SOAP, it's quite a lot of work to parse the SOAP code. I
wouldn't recommend it for SOAP. but it's OK for POX or other kind of AJAX.

Hi,
thanks for reply. I finally used XmlHttpRequest as my WebService interface
is not so complex. It took only some time to line up all namespaces etc.

What is the "Atlas" you wrote about ?

Atlas was the codename for Windows Communication Foundation. Many still
speak of Atlas when mentioning WCF, because it's such a cooler name ;-)

Microsoft provides a set of server-side and client-side libraries in
order to simplify AJAX implementation, especially when you use SOAP.
These libraries are what I meant with the term Atlas.

HTH,

Actually, the codename for Windows Communication Foundation was Indigo.

Atlas is Microsoft's framework for AJAX development and it is still in beta
and do not have an offical market name.
