Web Services Interoperability

We've just spent all of last week interop testing OASIS Web Services Security scenarios with a group of other vendors. By the end of the week, we had successful message exchanges with everyone on the list for as many of the seven scenarios that they supported. Some vendors, I'm sad to say, could only do the most trivial of scenarios.

Some articles on the web frustrate the hell out of me, particularly when I know of several large customers using our Web Services technology for transactions worth millions of dollars. That same software is interoperating with another vendors Web Services software in order to deliver the overall solution. I wish this kind of article would drill down some more with specific examples, but maybe there's a reason they don't do that.
