Windows Live Platform Discussion with Koji Kato and Danny Thorpe

That is an impressive demo!!! The potential of this is very far reaching specially in the SOA space.
Anyway I have some questions if that’s ok, and they are …
So what is the performance like?
How far can I scale this?
Can I get this to work with (W)WF?
Can I do async or long running communications with this technology?
Have you tried connecting this to Java and other non-Microsoft technologies?
Isn’t calling this technology ‘Biztalk Connectivity Services’ going to get it confused with the full Biztalk product? Specially if there is no migration strategy from one to the other?
I’m pretty excited about this … and I have a 100 more questions but that’s enough to be getting on with for now.
I agree it makes it confusing, if Biztalk isn't needed for this then why label it Biztalk.Sabot wrote:Isn’t calling this technology ‘Biztalk Connectivity Services’ going to get it confused with the full Biztalk product? Specially if there is no migration strategy from one to the other?
This video has me pretty excited about where this project might go, but I have one question about future plans (which I realize you may not want to talk about now, but I have to ask anyway...)
How do you plan to deal with occasionally-connected clients to the ISB? How will they get access to events published when they were disconnected?
Hi,
I have to say that I am also pretty excited about this project.
In relation to occasionaly connected clients, because ISB crosses over the internet it is a good point to raise the question of occasionaly connected clients and services.
WS-Discovery could apply quite nicely. Standardized Bye/Hello and Probe/Resolve messages could offer a WS* compliant solution to provide presence awareness and discovery and as well a s ensuring interoperability.
Are there plans to integrate WS-Disco in a later release?
Rgds,
A.
Are you going to provide the Identity Service as installable service within ISB package, which can be hosted inside of an enterprise?
