Sudhir, Sorry, no progress from my end.
Currently I just have the WSDL and we are building our sw-client against that. Unfortunately we will not have an opportunity to test against the server until later, so we will not discover if ADB has a limitation until we have chewed up a lot of time. I am really happy with ADB - I think I have wrapped my head around it's main ideas - but there is still that lingering concern to discover if it will work. As I mentioned earlier in the thread we do have several instances of "restriction" in our WDSL - ubt it looks to be at the simple end of the spectrum. If anyone has any "feel" for ADB's limitations we would really appreciate guidance.
