How to test Metro to .NET web service interop

My tech tip on how to test ReliableMessaging interop between a Metro client with a public .NET service is now available. It's also available as an RSS-enabled blog entry.

Being able to run these tests should give you confidence in our interoperability capabilities. We do run the entire gamut of interop tests, such as these, in both directions everyday. Knowing this info is also useful if you want to join our open source effort and contribute to developing the platform.

Note: A future article will show the reverse direction: a .NET client with a Metro service.

• I have an issue with a mtero client connecting to a service via my STS. Both use X.509 certificates and this post http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=38665&tstart=0 helped me solve the certificate issues between windows and the metro keystore/truststore. I'm using the Federated Scenario from Microsoft out-of-the box and the metro client can't get the to the STS's mex endpoint which I've enabled through mexHttpBinding. Since you guys did the plugfests, I'm hoping you would know the answer since I know you're testing STS scenarios. I've setup my metro client to point to my .NET STS and my .NET service with all my certificates. But I'm getting:
  com.sun.xml.ws.api.security.trust.WSTrustException: WST0017:Could not obtain STS metadata. MEX call to STS http://server/TokenIssuer/STSService.svc/Mex failed. I think somehow my mex endpoint is using the security from the base endpoint. From what I know, mex is suppose to be anonymous with no authentication. I've found an article here http://www.codeprof.com/dev-archive/125/153-118-1253129.shtm that might have something I need but I was wondering how you got the STS scenario to work, My metro client can't obtain STS metadata even though the url it finds is correct.

• Glad to hear you are trying Metro. The place to get answers for Metro is users@metro.dev.java.net. Please post your question there. Thanks, H
