As can be seen, the "Any" data type is not supported. Each message exchanged between the client and the server has a specific data-type. I am planning to "emulate" the Any data type in this setup by trying to use the binary data type in lieu of Any, since binary stream is the most fundamental of all data types. Are there any issues I can run into? Someone told me that the encoding scheme used in XML (ASCII, UTF-8, Unicode etc.) will give me some grief but I don't fully comprehend the issue. After all, at a certain level everything reduces to bits and bytes. Any insight will be appreciated. Thanks, Ramesh | ||||||
