[edit] Steve's affiliations
Here are my affiliations for anyone worried about neutrality.
- I work on SmartFrog (paid)
- Apache Software Foundation member (unpaid)
- Apache Ant developer, indirect income via the Ant in Action book.
- Former Apache Axis Developer (unpaid)
- Part time work project, Alpine, to do a new SOAP stack. (paid)
- Former participant in Grid-related standards based on [[WS-RF] ]
I have a lot of experience in Web Services, WS-*, SOAP, standardisation of the aforesaid things, and am firmly in the [REST] camp, primarily through disillusion with the fundamental problems of SOAP. That is WSDL as an usuable language for reading or writing by humans, SOAP-over-HTTP as the worst of both worlds in terms of transport.
