Maybe remoting is a more viable alternative in this case. I see a lot of people turning to webservices as an rpc alternative without having thought about wether or not it would add any value to the application(or to whatever they're trying to achieve). Don't misuse a technology. If you don't need the interoperability, then don't choose webservices by default. Already companies are investing into webservices, when in fact the standards surrounding it are too fresh, which could refrain it from evolving into something more mature... on the other hand, some valuable lessons could be learnt from the current implementations... I guess it's all about the point of view we each have on this matter; it's personal and neither wrong nor right.
