Jeremy took pity on me and had a glance at a sample project I was using to test eXist with SOAP.  It seems Visual Studio .NET's 'Add Web Reference' Wizard wasn't setting up the proxy class for the web service correctly...

The web services are at http://localhost:8080/exist/etc... but VS.NET set up the proxy classes to use http://localhost/exist/etc... Manually adding the ':8080' to the web references' server name completely resolves the connection problems I was having

When trying to connect to eXist with SOAP from .NET, Jes tells me he and Manu use the following successfully:

QueryService service = new QueryService();
sessionId = service.connect(userName, password);

When I try this, I get:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.NET.WebException' occurred in system.web.services.dll
Additional information: The request failed with HTTP status 405: Method not allowed.

The developer documentation for eXist says the connection sequence should look something like:

QueryService service = new QueryServiceLocator();
Query query = service.getQuery();
String session = query.connect("guest", "guest");

This always results in an error that says QueryServiceLocator doesn't even exist in the namespace.

Jeremy Esland has convinced me that XML is the answer to many of the data problems I am encountering in a variety of projects.  The more I learn about XML, the more I'm sure it's the answer. 

In a related side-note, Jeremy also introduced me to the eXist project.  eXist is a powerful XML storage and retrieval solution that can be run and accessed in a variety of ways. 

Now if I could just get my .NET code to retrieve some documents from eXist...
