I am in the process of building an XML web service, using VB.Net which
will be called over the internet by clients on various platforms.
Does anyone have any experience of consuming a .Net web service using
Perl or writing a .Net web service to be consumed by Perl? If so, I'd
like to hear of any problems you may have encountered or hints you may
have that I might learn from before I continue.
One thing in particular is, the type of data that will be returned by
the method calls. Say a method needs to return both a numeric code
and a message; I could keep it simple and return just a string
containing both the number and message concatenated that could then be
examined by the client or I could return a serialized class with a
number and a string property. Is one easier for the client than the
other?
Thanks in advance
