> say "SOAP interopability is not safe - use another protocol." That's ridiculous. Write real-world code. If you define services that take arrays, nobody sane is going to send you a sparse array that happens to have no holes. If they do, Fault back. Don't cut off the ENTIRE world because SOMEONE might squeeze through a loophole. It's generally not possible to use a human language to write a document that has no ambiguity in it. Applications that can benefit from spare arrays can benefit big-time; it's nice to have a standard way of handling them. And it's nice to have a way to handle legacy RPC systems (DCE and therefore COM/DCOM) that provided them, too. /r$ -- Zolera Systems, Securing web services (XML, SOAP, Signatures, Encryption) http://www.zolera.com
