RE: Web service question...

["DeLong, Eric" <EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Henrik,

Ahem, not sure what point you're trying to make...  Did Michael even mention SOAP?  I thought the question was "isn't this a perfect example of where a web service could be used?"

I believe that a SOAP based WS implementation is ABSOLUTELY CONSIDERED TO BE A "REAL WEBSERVICE".  So is REST... I'm sure that there are MANY solutions that one could argue fall under the umbrella of "Web Service", but that's no reason for you to invalidate SOAP as a potential web service solution.

Just trying to understand why you seem to shun SOAP...

Michael,

if you think a "real webservice" is based on SOAP you have been smoking glue
