I can stop complaining now. Finally figured out how to delete all emails from gmail's Trash folder...Got the sources for GMail API For Java (g4j), mucked around with it for a bit and came up with a simple gmail.test.EmptyTrash command line. g4j uses Commons HTTPClient to do the heavy lifting. I had to tweak the g4j login code (to gmail) to get it working. Wish i had not reformatted the code, then i could just have submitted it back to g4j as a diff. Get the full zip here.

PS: Read the G4J FAQ before you run the command line.
PPS: Had a lot of help from FireFox's DOMInspector, the LiveHTTPHeaders plugin and last but not the least the sources of Mail::Webmail::GMail

Many thanks to Dino Chiesa, .NET Product Manager at Microsoft for updating the Axis Wiki that deals with interop with Microsoft .NET and for actively helping axis user community understand how to get things work.

Read this email from Tim Berners-Lee to the WS-Addressing WG and then read this email thread about signing EPR's with WS-Security and tell me what you think :)

use Mail::Webmail::Gmail;

my ( $gmail ) = Mail::Webmail::Gmail->new( 
            username => 'davanum', password => 'XXXXXX', );

my $messages = $gmail->get_messages( label => $Mail::Webmail::Gmail::FOLDERS{ 'TRASH' } );
if ( @{ $messages } ) {
    my $test = 0;
    foreach ( @{ $messages } ) {
        print "MSG: " . $_->{ 'id' } . " trying...\n";
        #$gmail->delete_message( msgid => $_->{ 'id' }, search => 'spam', del_message => 1 );
        $gmail->delete_message( msgid => $_->{ 'id' } );
        if ( $gmail->error() ) {
            print $gmail->error_msg();
        } else {
            print "MSG: " . $_->{ 'id' } . " deleted\n";
        }
	$test++;
	if ( $test == 100 ) {
           last;
	}
    }
}

If you really dislike ad's consider FireFox's Adblock extension. I was playing with a tiny greasemonkey extension to hide google ads present in web sites (say for example here - Annogen) and came up with this script.

OK. This excellent greasemonkey based tweak for GMail from mihai is a life-saver (though i can't use it - details below). I was able to spend a few minutes on it (and FireFox's DOM Inspector) and am now able to hide the Google Ads in Gmail as well. However, Google's policy lists "Reformat or frame any portion of the web pages that are part of the Gmail Service" as one the of the prohibited actions, so can't share it publicly or even use it on a regular basis.

Q: Can one say that his/her developed webservice is WS-I compatible if the framework using which one developed that particular webservice is WS-I compatible? Are there any other criteria that are to be considered to certify that a web service a developer codes is WS-I compatible?

A: The best way to certify that a service is WS-I compatible is using the WS-I testing tools. Basically you run the WSDL, ensure compliance and then run all soap messages to check if messages are compliant as well.

David,

Now that all of us (WSDL WG, WS-ADDR WG) are in Boston W3C Plenary. Should we revisit Sam's WS-HTTP Proposal and your response?

Problem: I've heard nelson minar, adam trachtenberg, peter yared complain about not-good-enough web services support for scripting languages.

Solution: We can create language bindings on top of the fast paced (release-wise) Axis-C++ project to make things better. This has to be a community effort. Anyone wanna help?
