I managed to get web services up and running on my Mono machine. This proves
it.
What I dislike about the current implementation is obvious:
-
There's no WSDL generator yet (can't use wsdl.exe or any other web services proxy
generator tools)
-
There's no proxy class generator yet (wsdl.exe in our world)
-
URLs seem to be case sensitive
My install uses the latest Mono bits and
a primitive web server (XSP), which hosts the Mono ASP.NET runtime.
I tested this stuff using WebServicesStudio,
which can generate proxies and SOAP messages. I used .NET web service implementation
to generate the proxy and then sent SOAP messages to Mono implementation.
All in all, I'm quite surprised. Mono's latest development advances are a huge
step forward.
