Direct to Web Services: first view

Well, what can I say, with Direct2... life is ease. I had created a simple service just in few minutes. I created a new database — in my Sybase server — with 3 tables, each adopting a basic BAProtocol, establishing a 3-depth 1toN relation:

Account<—>>Document<—>>Details

EOModeler did its work — I really hope Apple is planning a good alternative to this, now that they are deprecating the Java Bridge. From there, Xcode nicely creates a Web service which can be customised with WebServicesAssistant. Inside the later I created a service called newAcc — which inserts a new account...

All this took me no more than 40 minutes... not bad for a completely new newbie =;o)

Now I just have to have to learn how to consume this service within Cocoa... so, let's try!
