When   you are designing large middleware integeration efforts , it is quite easy to get into code first integerate later but From classic COM to Biztalk integeration it is always Contract First. Be it an IDL or a Schema . This  is generally considered the best way to approch service design. The approach is to design schemas first then generate code from that.
