RE: Start/Stop Operation Example?

[Dziembowski, Kinga]

Title: Message

Joe, In the past we implemented start/stop operations for the managed Web Service with the following interpretation: When the start operation was executed on the managed Web Service – this service was available for customers and SOAP requests delivered the expected responses . When the service was stopped it was not available for the customers and the SOAP request returned SOAP fault, with the statement that the service is not available. The service itself was up and running (we did not shut the Web Services server) but from the external user point of view it was stopped=not available….
