Hi Colin,

I could do it, but I advise against it unless the SOAP service originates in java
AND you will get more stuff from the same source. With the gov work this was inevitable,
and was useful to create a vfp infrastructure as this was the customer niche
and java COM was not stable enough. That code belongs to the client and I could not
leverage it, only the expirience - and anybody working with Dotnet-WSDL could leverage
the stuff there (more up to date than vfp offerings even with somebody as smart as Rick
keeping the vfp stuff ticking, but was not working with the java specialities back then).

Do yourself a favour and get a nice package describing the problem and demo installs
(eiither the C# and/or java examples: if this comes from java, they have GREAT examples,
usually a DVD with either a VM or a tomcat server, the WSDL/Soap service installed and examples
running to listen to via Wireshark or other tools) and give that to those willing to try.

I have done Dotnet, but somebody like Viv who does this regularly is the better choice IMO.
And rest of this quarter is booked - not already overbooked, but not thumbs twiddling.
If you cannot find anybody in GB and have an example DVD, contact me again -
London is just a hop if we really need face2face.

regards

thomas
