Hi there. Coming from a C++/Corba background (Linux) I have problems understanding the webservice application model of C#/.NET/Mono/whatever, and is seeking advice/pointers/something to get an idea of what models are feasible.
Using Corba, a SOA application is almost a "normal" application, exposing part of its functions/objects to "the net". The ORB handles requests, spawns threads, and calls into "the running application". The only "hard" part is to make sure that the threads do not wreck havoc on eachother. Now, so far, what I have been able to figure out about .net webservices, looks like CGI to me? Clearly this can not be the case, but I lack information describing the application models possible/feasible. Something a bit more meaty than the usual [WebMethod] void HelloWorld stuff, perhaps a bit higher level, discussing the part the web server plays, the mapping of requests onto threads (or applications?) and so on. Any advice? Pointers to information/whitepapers/books/places to post a question/whatever. I am quite lost, as I have been told to write a server/service "in c# as a webservice, using SOAP/XML", but have problems mapping it onto my usual model of a service, which is probably more like a unix deamon...
