Just to make sure I'm on the same page... A third party will be building and hosting the web site. This web site will end up with hundreds of suppliers passing in information about their stock. The proposal is that this web site passes XML data through the intranet firewall to a web service running in your intranet.

Correct

If the supplier is building a web service, it sounds like they're talking about using an application server in the sense of a middle tier server hosting an application. They're probably not talking about an application server in the J2EE sense, but a J2EE application server wouldn't generally be used in a .Net solution. I would argue that Java is a better fit for building web services with Oracle, particularly on the security side, but reasonable people can disagree there. =20

Nope they want to build this webservice and adress security through firewall And this webservice.

On the XML side, are you thinking about sending XML to the database rather than calling stored procedures via ODBC? Or am I misunderstanding that part of the question?

No you understand it correctly, I don't want their webservice, I want an appserver and pass through the xml to the database and build any bussineslogic there.

Additional question might be is there any performance issue in building this Xml-interface directly on the database compared to a separate webservice

I meant that we have a supplier offering to be a new website, host this website, makes a connection through the internet, passes a firewall in our company, makes a connection to our backoffice. We have to built the connection on the backoffice. Supplier wants to get in through xml, built a translation webservice on our side extra that will call the backoffice procedures through .net (probably something like
odbc)

I need concrete arguments to convince management that a) better to build backoffice procedures in xml so you don't need the translation service built by the supplier b) I need an application server to manage security c) ....

Tnx,

Jeroen
