Adverts on the web

Well obviously I have been got back by my own ideas of adding adverts to this site. As soon as I do the Wiki gets full of SPAM and the number of pages indexed by Google drops.

Well probably serves me right. Anyhow I did make 5 cents!

Google Adverts

Gidley.co.uk has suddenly got Google adverts on it. - Why well I have a theory that as they are content sensitive having them will make google spider the site more and thus improve its search engine ranking.

This may or may not be true - but time will tell. Today there are 912 pages in the google index for gidley.co.uk I will see if this increases with time.

Also I may make 50p which would be amusing! Though Helen tells me I will have to declare it for tax and thus complicate our finances - oh well.

Well now the windows are all in and finshed (well nearly) and it looks very cool. Bahama did a good job and I would recommend them.

SOAP with C# and Axis

Posted by ben 16:53 | Permalink Permalink | Comments comments (0) | Trackback Trackbacks (1) | Java
I have been playing most the day getting C# to talk to Java over SOAP using AXIS. It is quite wierd how little information their is on this combination or the interoperability issues.

For a start you won't be able to use your basic java objects and SOAP really can't cope with Collections.

Then you have to deal with extremely wierd problems like C# won't accept an Array of strings from Axis. But appears to accept an array of almost any other object. Simple work around it to create a class with a string member variable and send an array of that!

It is just wierd that SOAP is actually quite poor at talking between different platforms!
