From: Walden H. Leverich

I'd go w/Apache w/out a second thought.

-Walden

PS. "service" above means just a page that the other machine calls that
returns a pre-determined dataset, not necessarily a SOA web-service
w/WSDL and all that jazz, although a web-service is the "right" way to
do this.

I'd add to this that Walden's point about web services being the "right" way
is perhaps better stated to say that web services are a more accepted
standard way, although the whole WSDL/Web Service is no longer as solid a
firmament as it used to be.

The new SCA model is a more loosely coupled design that is being put forth
by pretty much all the big players other than Microsoft and Sun. And at
THAT point, the consumer really becomes the important bit. SCA/SDO is a
much different animal than WSDL/SOAP (although you can use traditional web
services as the transport mechanism for SCA).
