New project page

I finally managed to upload the project pages for my current software project Lotto-WS!

You'll find lots of information and (coming soon) the possibility to download the Lotto-WS client for free! This may be of particular interest to anybody participating in the state lottery system (6 aus 49) in Germany, but also to any interested in modern client server architectures, since there is quite some description of how the software works.

Lotto-WS is web-service based utilizing apache axis2, designed contract first from an xml/xsd/wsdl interface description, and coded in pure java - though I also proved a C# implementation of the client using .Net 2.0 framework is possible by writing a simple command line client.

The server uses a DB to store the lottery results (currently these are entered via a local admin application on the server) which the web-service retrieves and provides to the client.

The client is a swing java application that comes with documentation and simple installer, and it's for free!

Version 0.1 has a planned release date of Feb. 2007.
