While pundits and critics argue over the merits and disadvantages of SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI, a handful of companies have been quietly rolling out Web services and benefiting from the results. Rotech Medical, a home healthcare company based in Winter Park, FL, is a pioneer in this field, having deployed Web services throughout its business. Case Study. Apr 3, 2002. 9:30:22 PM

Sun Microsystems is crying foul over a key new Web services standards group created by IBM and Microsoft, accusing its two rivals of "political shenanigans" for not inviting Sun to join as an equal partner. Is there no end to the lying and whining that Scotty and Sun will do? This is the Sun Microsystems that for the last 2 years as totally tried to ignore and derail the SOAP standard, trying to shove a proprietary Java RMI down people's throats and when that failed, tried to shove Corba down people's throats. "most of the Web services today are being written on Java anyhow." But not through any mechaisms of Sun. Most of this is Apache. Where was Sun a year ago? They have marganilized themselves out of the Web Servives game and they have no one to blame but themselves.   9:25:46 PM
