Use FUSE to accelerate iPhone Web Development

This session will show you how to use FUSE to access SOAP/HTTP WebServices from the iPhone The code we are using in this session is available from the IONA FUSE demo/download area open.iona.com The main target audience for this session are Architects and Developers that want to build iPhone applications that integrate with the web


Why is this important/relevant?
With the new iPhone SDK you can implement applications using Objective-C or AJAX (XHTML, JavaScript, CSS)‏ The AJAX environment is quite powerful, but writing all the code to send/receive (marshal/unmarshal) data using XmlHttpRequest is extremly tedious and errorprone
How cool would it be, if you could use a wsdl2js or java2js compiler to generate a complete SOAP/HTTP client side stack for a given service and invoke on the operations of the service with a simple request-response interface?
Hint: This stack would obviously still use XmlHttpRequest under the hood, but this would not bother you anymore. Plus all of the marshaling code is generated.
