Hi Kapil,

I'd suggest looking at using the HTTP API. Using this API will provide you with far greater flexibility as you will be able to easily write your own additions, in the form of web scripts, to meet your specific use cases.

The HTTP protocol is much 'lighter' than the WS and I'd expect there to far fewer compatibility issues with HTTP.

At Alfresco we currently tend to use our HTTP when developing remote clients (eg: office integration, portlets, flex applications all use web scripts extensively)

Hope this helps,
Roy

There used to be something called WSMakeStubs in /Developer/Tools that would generate an objective-C proxy, but… since I upgraded to 10.5 I'll be darned if I can find it. I didn't install WebObjects, so I'm not sure if I need to or not.

Maybe post on the Apple Developer mailing lists?
