Thank you... it looks like we won't be using whitbey any time soon here

My primary thoughts on using webservices was that it would be so slow and use up too much system/network resources. I didn't realize that SOAP was designed to carry large binary objects or HUGE XML-streams... since I read that the overhead is quite large. And to deploy the db layer in a webservice felt very bad... in our classic asp we used COM+ to deploy the db dlls...

But like I wrote, I have very little practical experience in using webservices... We are right now running about 10 webapps that are pretty much admin interfaces to huge oracle database models... it is running quite slow even now, I was concernet about performance when switching to a webservice :


kind regards
