Chris Sells wonders about data binding and web services, and askes if someone should create a WS-CRUD standard. It wouldn’t surprise me to see someone attempt such a foolish thing, but I would prefer that they call it WS-Dataset instead. This way any real web service developer would know to avoid it, just like avoiding exposing ADO.Net datasets via webservices.
Oh, you may ask, why is it a foolish thing? Because web services should be all about messaging, which is stateless, not RPC (remote procedure calls) which is typically stateful (but does not have to be). See Don Smith’s explaination of what document-oriented means.

About donxml
I’m an independent consultant, specializing in .Net solutions architecture, based out of New Jersey who also doubles as an evangelist for XML, Domain Driven Design, enterprise architecture and .Net. I do not work for Microsoft, the W3C or any other big company that you may know of (at least not yet). I’ve been an indie for over ten years, and although I’ve been tempted a couple times to take a job with companies like Microsoft, I’ve haven’t found something better than my current situation. I work mostly with the large pharmaceuticals that are based here in New Jersey, and usually find myself on long term contracts. Definitely not the prototypical indie consultant, but it lets me dedicate time to my non-income generating activities like the developer community stuff, plus financing open source projects like XPathmania and MVP-XML. If you would like to talk to me about doing some contract work, just contact me via the contact page. My rates vary widely, depending on lots of different variables, but mostly distance from Jersey, and type of work. Plus, I’ve been known to donate some of my code for various projects.
