I'm getting really frustrated with the project.  My group has basically everything set up on the VB side, but our web services are not functioning.  We thought we had it all figured out, and we knew how to leverage the provided web services, but we must be missing some piece.  It seems like it should be simple, but its not panning out that way at all.

I'm really glad I went through the SAP XI exercise Professor Haines discussed in class.  It seems like it will really help alot with our group projects.  I just wish I had known about our team namespaces before I went through all that because now I have to do it all over again with the team namespace!

I've finished the rough draft of my paper-- it definetly needs a little bit of editting, but I'll finish that up this week.  I have to say I found out some interesting things about "Green IT", not all of which I could include in my paper because of its lack of relevance to integration.  It is certainly an up and coming area of focus and I'm really glad I chose it as my topic.

I'm glad we went through lab 3B in class because I would have spent a while trying to figure out what I had done wrong otherwise... I was copying the wrong statment into the final testing portion.  So simple, yet it caused so much trouble!

So I tried to do Lab3B and I got through everything okay until the last test part, which I'm guessing is the compilation of everything and it won't work.  I went back through everything I've done and everything looks and works how it should, so I'm stumped!  I guess I'll just wait till we go through it further after spring break.  Have a good week off everyone!

I have to admit-- midterm exams are a lot more enjoyable when you're in jammies. 

I agree with Mary (I think that's whose blog it was).  It is very interesting and somewhat comical that SOAP no longer stands for anything.  In IT though it seems that people are so accustomed to acronyms, and at least in my company often don't ever know what they stand for, that the actual meanings are somewhat arbitrary.  If they were to change the acronym SOAP to something that is more current and accruate I have a feeling that most people would continue to refer to it as SOAP just because thats what its always been for them.
