Real-world web service users and developers tell all in this panel! Find out what you need to know before you start developing or using a web service. Some questions that will be answered include: What is the current status of attempts to develop and deploy real live Web Services? What parts of the technology are mature? What are the open issues and future requirements? What role does object technology play in production implementations? What works? What doesn't? Why did the panelists choose it? Would they do it again?

Attendee background

Participants should have a general familiarity with object technology, and an interest in web service design and implementation issues.
