[MISC] [MOBY-l] Help on writing .NET client for Moby services

   In case you require a WSDL representing MOBY Central (which I do not
think it is the case, btw) I can help you by converting a Java interface
(Central.java) into a WSDL. The Central.java represents all functionality
of a MOBY Central (and for your purpose it does not matter in which
language it is expressed).

   Mark, I think it depends on the language of implementation. Some
implementations, such as .net, use their specific extensions. For example,
the extension .asmx is used as explained here:
   "... When you create an XML Web service in ASP.NET, you place the
required @ WebService directive at the top of a text file with an .asmx
file name extension. The presence of the .asmx file and the @ WebService
directive correlate the URL address of the XML Web service with its
implementation..."

   Just my 2c's,
