Oh, it is. It's worth bearing in mind though that ease of use from our perspective isn't always the main criteria when deciding upon an architecture. If any of my students gave that as their sole justification for using web services over CORBA I'd probably fail them*, there are plenty of other reasons but as always there is no one right solution that fits all needs. Good thing too, or many of us would be out of a job ;)

* In this case, 'fail them' translates directly to 'make them buy me guinness', it's more productive and less antagonistic :)
