I've never seen an application (X) find and use another application (Y) that X didn't already know about. I know that UDDI originally offered this vision of a "yellow pages" where one app could "discover" a service and its associated service provider by some category scheme, then "discover" how the service's API worked by analyzing its WSDL, then "negotiate" with the service provider to use the API -- all completely automatically. It never came close to happening. So perhaps if you could provide a bit more detail about, and an example or two of successful implementations of, this concept of "how an application can find another application in the Net", then I could describe ways in which it can be accomplished with WOA. -- Nick
