There needs to be a simpler interface for | people who don't need all the bells and whistles of SOAP. | I would | rather just have | one language and point of entry doing my XML communication. My preference, also. Anybody that thinks RPG is best-suited to doing the small stuff, imo, is incorrect and probably has it backwards. Perhaps this is a more-or-less (I dunno) suitable alternative to SOAP for RPG: http://www.xmlrpc.com/ Btw, for the folks that think XML is the be-all and end-all, here are two sides from Tim Bray the (primary?) author of XML: http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2003/03/16/XML-Prog http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2003/03/24/XMLisOK Yeah, XML is cool and hip tho!!
