Microsoft and Oracle showcase WS Interoperability at Gartner’s AADI summit
As you might have noticed, I haven't been actively blogging during the last month.

This experiment allowed us to explore the interoperability of WCF 4.0 and WIF RTM with the upcoming release of Oracle WebLogic within the context of a real world application. As a result, we were able to implement various complex WS interoperability scenarios encompassing diverse areas such as security, trust, federation, asynchronous reliable messaging, transactions, etc. We had the opportunity to experience firsthand the interop capabilities of both stacks as well as identify some of the areas that require improvement in order to achieve better levels of interoperability.
