Bonnie,

Sorry, I just got back to this. I appreciate your comments and I believed you were right from the start regarding using basicHttpBinding. I have already tested this successfully.

>>Hi all,

>>I have a need to access a web service in the WPF client app. I would prefer to use WCF so there is flexibility in the future but the existing web service is not WCF and is java based hosted on linux. Anybody know what issues I might run into if I use WCF on the client?
