Hi everyone,

I'm designing a set of web services to allow our clients to connect from their apps to one of our systems. Our clients have their apps developed in all varieties of frameworks (.NET, Java, PHP, Python and even the occasional all JS app), so obviously WS is the way to go.

Investigating a little about truly interop WS I've found that the way to go is to design first the WSDL and XSD and derive the implementations from there.

What i'm really looking for is guidance if this is really the way to go. I've read that WCF creates interoperable WS but i'm not a fan of MS creating something standard.

Should i use WCF or there is a good set of tools for designing WSDL and XSD without the pain i'm expecting.

Thanks in advance
