Understanding Web Service Limitations
At the time of this writing, Web service technologies continue to evolve and change. The following list contains possible limitations that you should consider before building MATLAB applications with Web services:
- The majority of Web services are made available via HTTP. Like the Internet itself, quality of service cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, your application performance might suffer or might appear unreliable.
- Web services and the related technologies like WSDL and SOAP are relatively new. As with any new technology, established procedures and best practices are still being written.
- If you plan to call remote Web services, make sure that you validate their accuracy and reliability. Also, Web services that are free today might not remain free in the future.
