Don't think of it as a "not nice, but workable" situation. If you want a distributed object system for transferring objects between two Java applications, use RMI or CORBA
I have a SOAP billing engine that amonst others receives SOAP requests from another java application. It also receives SOAP requests from applications in other languages, it also handles some services through REST and raw XML-over-HTTP-POST
Had I been interested in adding RMI or CORBA into the mix, then I would have used that.
SOAP will handle the requirements fine, thank you.
