Chuckle! Dave linked back to me. I'm new to weblogging, but I can see how this might become addictive. Oh, by the way, Apache's implementations can invoke soap services without a WSDL. And any service which is described with a WSDL can certainly be invoked without referencing the WSDL. No lock-in here!

Hmmm. What the beta of the slides referenced below didn't mention was that Dave was going to use his Infoworld keynote to argue against pulling the second cable across so that we can get on with the business of building bridges between all platforms, static and dynamic alike.

Perl is a reasonably dynamic scripting language, no? Yet in that language, parameters are passed by position instead of name. What extra information can the SOAP::Lite implementation make use of to provide this added information? Why WSDL, of course!
