I concur with Lenz - i've been on multi-vendor projects where an architect declared "let them talk in soap".. the problem is that only works if you have the same library on server and client
instead i spent 6 monts reverse engineering Delphi's soap server protocol so i could talk to it from a php client. Really, it only needs a simple restful method and some kinda encoding for the response - i've yet to find something that needed soap's complexity.
