Re: Microsoft .NET frontending IBM i

[Richard Schoen <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm advocating:
 
Determine requirements. 

Write database if needed and create business logic. 

All done. 

There is no thinking about how WSDL or XML is presented because the .Net web services generate WSDL/XML on the fly at runtime. 

Writing WSDL and XML by hand is definitely a hammer and chisel approach and was probably required in the early web services days, but not today. 

Tell me if I'm missing something obvious, but I have been writing web services in .Net for several years without ever having to deal directly with XML.

Huh?  You are advocating the code first approach?  That's like writing a bunch of programs and then designing a database to fit what you wrote.
