MTOM interoperability between Oracle App Server and Sun WSIT
A few months ago I wrote a couple of articles (WCF-ORA, ORA-WCF) about Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM) interoperability between Oracle Application Server and Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). Most of the feedback I got from those posts was related with MTOM interoperability scenarios using other Web Service technologies toolkits. Based on that, I decided to post a few more demos that reflect MTOM interoperability scenarios for different vendors. Specifically, this paper shows how to achieve MTOM interoperability between Oracle App Server and Sun Web Service Interoperability Technology (WSIT - Project Tango). Believe it or not, I am sorry .NET developers; there is no .NET code in this paper.

More on REST vs. WS-*
There is an interesting debate going on between my friends Ted Neward and David Chappell about REST vs. WS-* complexity. Beyond the political analogy (in which I agreed with Ted) I would like to add my own opinion on the topic.

Christian on Duplex messaging with BizTalk Services
I just realized that my friend Christian Weyer has blogged a fantastic sample about Duplex messaging using BizTalk Services. In fact, Christian details some of the benefits of this approach for real world scenarios. So read Christian article first and then you can complement with mine.

Implementing duplex messaging with BizTalk Services
It is undeniable that the use of BizTalk Services opens up a new set of possibilities for distributed applications. This post is not intended to provide an overview of BizTalk Services. My friend Clemens Vasters and the BizTalk Services team have been doing a fabulous job in that regard. Instead, I’ve decided to start blogging about different messaging scenarios that I have been implementing using BizTalk Services. Particularly, this post is focused on duplex messaging. As you might already know, duplex contracts are one of the features of WCF that allows implement scenarios on which both WCF endpoints exchange message independently. Duplex messaging becomes difficult to adopt in scenarios on which the two endpoints reside on different organizations (different networks). This is partially given that a real world duplex messaging scenario requires a whole new set of considerations in terms of network resources (opening ports for receiving the callbacks), different security boundaries, etc. This is what makes BizTalk Services an ideal solution for this type of scenario. Now organizations don’t have to spend time and resources implementing the trusting mechanisms with other organizations. Instead they can rely on BizTalk Services for all that. The following picture might help to clarify my point.

WS-ReliableMessaging interoperability between Microsoft WCF and Sun WSIT part II via Arun Gupta
It looks like I don’t need to post the second part of my WS-ReliableMessaging WCF WSIT interoperability scenario. Check out this great post by Arun Gupta, one of the leaders of WSIT (Project Tango). Also if you are interested on Project Tango, check out this article also from Arun.

WS-ReliableMessaging interoperability between Microsoft WCF and Sun WSIT
Creating a Web Service using Sun WSIT is very similar to creating a Java class with a few annotations. The following code illustrated the WSIT service used as part of this demo. Just for this time, I’ve decided to give my readers a break and not implement a calculator so I went with the second most popular service contract in history.

Speaking at SOAWorld
I am at New York this week. I will be speaking tomorrow at SOAWorld about Web Services interoperability; we have some cool demos showing interoperability between WCF and different J2EE-J2SE technologies. If you are in the area or attending to the conference just swing by and we can have a chat.
