But let me explain the basics: it takes four lines of code in the client to

another line of code to parse the XML into a record.

Does it do "any web service" or "any web service based on a WSDL".
Any web service. The WSDL is used primarily for testing and documentation purposes in a distributed development environment. AFAIK you don't need it during deployment.

Also, EGL goes beyond SOAP. While the invokeSOAP method invokes a SOAP web service using all of the appropriate mechanics, the invokeREST method is a lightweight REST invocation - it only needs one line of code. Again, the beauty of a 4GL: as new protocols are designed, they can be added to the language and your application code doesn't have to change.
