dotnet web services enhancements:
Hi everyone,

Is there a list of things to look for in the OutputTrace.webinfo or the
Message Trace and Policy Trace Output and input files.

I just need to put my head around this.
I need some paper or article that explains what to look for and how to
campare the files on the client side and the server side.

Any comments, links, chapters, books, articles etc.. are
appreciated....
Usually a summary from some experts helps alot..

Thank you,

Hello SQLAgentman,
* Input/Output trace is just a trace of the messages going in and out of
the WSE pipeline. You should see that the Output trace of the client should
match the input trace of the server, because all its doing is logging the
envelope that is being sent or received. On the outbound its after it has
passed through all the filters.. and in the inboud its before it passes through
any of the filters.
* The Send and recieve policy is just a trace of all the policies that the
server went through. Usually you need this only when you want to find out
why you're getting a WSE402?!? policy verification error or WSE405, the policy
enforcement error (provided you havent written any custom policy, in that
case you have the code to figure what the problem is :))

A very good tool that I think is real useful is the WSE trace tool
http://weblogs.asp.net/smguest/archive/2004/08/19/217394.aspx
Its really good to correlate messages and also shows you the certificates
that were used to sign/encrypt a message..

Dilip,

The tools is very easy to use,
would you say I need to open the output of the Client and the Input of
the Service and see if they match?? It basically asks me to point to
just one folder.
I would be nice if it can heighlight the difference....
I guess I can go to a Compare Utility ( beyond compare )
Thank you

Hello SQLAgentman,
Its (output of the Client and the Input of the Service) has to match :)
I'd say you shouldnt even have to compare. The tool asks you to point to
one folder because the input and output trace is usually in the same folder.
The tool is to correlate input and output messages on the client OR the server.
In short, the OutputTrace.webinfo contains the soap message the client sends
out when making a request and the Inputtrace.webinfo contains the response
the client receives from the server. So you can see the request response
pairs using the tool.
