I always knew that Cocoon2 _is_ the web service platform from the day I proposed
to have a logic components called Action even if its current implementation
isn't everybodies darling :)

Sounds very cool and of course you're very welcome.

We have a version running that is able to communicate with SOAP clients as well
as normal browsers by an abstraction we call Connectors (implemented as
Actions). The Connectors responsability is to accept the client request and
transform it into an abstraction so that every client protocol can use the very
same service code. The counterpart of Connectors are Responders (implemented as
XSP pages and ev. XSLT) that knows the client protocol to transform the
abstracted response object to.

Yes, i'm proud to be part as well :)
