RE: Best Practices?

[Nicholas Remy]

Cape Clear's WSDL/Schema editor is free?  I was under the impression that it was only available as a component of their Cape Clear 4 product.

I evaluated CC awhile back, and was impressed with Cape Clear Studio...but found it cost prohibitive.  Although we eventually chose a different SOAP solution, I'd welcome the chance to work more with their WSDL editor.  Do you have a link to the free version you mention?

Thank you.
