You really should take a look at it.
But you've already said it's a server-side solution or did I make that up (it's been known to happen)? Although I'm sure it's incredibly useful to many for current purposes there should be no server-side footprint. CF and BD already do SOAP-based services via CFC, .NET does them automatically as well. WebSphere has built-in thingies. The best solution would be to consume these native services with client-side code. As it is most solutions (including WebORB, I believe) force the install of a server-side component which work ONLY with their client components (which, of course, work ONLY with their server-side component). It's a client-side solution that's (very) tightly coupled with a server-side solution. The loosely coupled model of WDDX is much more attractive to me. Define a method of transfer and promote other implementations of it. As long as I follow the specification I can use an off-the-shelf tool, build my own or whatever. This was the promise of SOAP... but it went south pretty damn quick with lots of complexity and not nearly the compatibility that was promised.
