Re: .Jason Harper's Article

My comment is about Jason Harper's article.

I am not yet a fan of SOAP and .Net Framework. It is early days and I am
still exploring.

I would share your concern about SOAP if the likes of IBM are not also supporting
SOAP. IBM is not noted for producing systems rife with security problems.

I can see your concern about security issue being handled by a black box,
but I don't share your concern about memory issues being handled by CLR,
afterall, Java handles memory issues internally.

Personally, I think we have to watch this space of .Net Framework, but I
would be surprised if Microsoft has not taken security issues into consideration
at all.

I have not found enough substance in Jason's article to worry me. There is
a whole namespace (System.Security) devoted to security issues. Have you
had a look at this?
