MTOM Article on TheServerSide

My second article for the TheServerSide is up. Like the first one I did for TSS, this one is on WSO2. The article is all about how easy WSO2 makes it to use MTOM for sending SOAP messages with binary data attached to them, as well as the advantages of using MTOM in the first place. Products like WSO2 are making it pretty painless to use SOAP and its "advanced" features like MTOM. This article explains some of that magic.

My first article for TheServerSide.com is now available. It's about calling a SOAP-based web service from JavaScript. It uses WSO2, a powerful set of web service tools built on several of Apache's products like Axis2. WSO2 is similar to Geronimo. It takes a lot of best-of-breed technologies and ties them together in an integrated, and easy to use package. The article talks a lot about a JavaScript library called WSRequest. This is a very cool JS library for calling web services. It lets you expose your application through a web service, and then leverage the same web service for building a UI on top of that service. It's classic don't repeat yourself.
