Paul Ballard on common Web Service mistakes.

I try to avoid posting link-only entries since I try to not feel totally useless in my own blog, but this is a really good article that has good points for consideration when building a Web Services architecture for your project. Building web-services in .NET is so damn easy that it's tempting to simply put in a [WebMethod] and forget all about it - it works, it's accessible and it gets the job done. The article gives a few easy optimization tips and caveats. Good read.

  I'm not a fan of his advice to use Session State. There are other ways of accomplishing the same thing without requiring the client to be cognizant of a specific server implementation. For example, Session can be accomplished through the use of the WS-Security and WS-SecureConversation specifications.
