We’re working on our service model in XFire right now and are enjoying the confusion of WS-* terminology. Everyone likes to take terms and apply them to their particular spec. For instance, “endpoint” in different specs:

WS-Addressing: “A Web service endpoint is a (referenceable) entity, processor, or resource where Web service messages can be targeted.”

WSDL 2.0: “An endpoint associates a network address with a binding.”

Indigo: “Each endpoint is made up of three elements: an address, a binding, and a contract.”

For XFire I think we’re leaning away from the Indigo and WSDL 2.0 definitions and toward the WS-Addressing one. In my mind at least an endpoint may be referenced from many network addresses. Am I wrong in assuming so? Because this clearly goes against the WSDL 2.0 and indigo definitions…

I hate airports. I hate how ridiculousness it has all gotten in the name of “security.” If someone is going to bring a plane down and is suicidal they’re going to do it damn it. I hate that I have to take my shoes off to go through the metal detector even though there is no metal in them and that the security gaurd will threaten to strip search you if you don’t take them off. I hate that I can’t wait at the curb more than 30 seconds. I hate that I practically have to strip naked to get to the gate. I hate that my knees hit the back of the seat in front of me coach. I hate that they treat you like crap. I hate the long long lines. I hate that I’m just one among many cattle being shoved together. I do not look forward to having 800 people on an airbus.

I look forward to the day I own my own jet and helicopter.
