Andrew Townley has made the point in this forum previously that there are portability issue with SOAP toolkits. Here is his blog entry that explains the issue in full detail... http://atownley.org/2005/11/in-search-of-portable-interoperability/ Anyone who believes they will walk the line with SOAP and remain somehow "vendor independent" or even language independent, is only consider one factor in the equation. Theses SOA things are very big costs and the differences between an investment in Jini/Javaspaces or some other ESB-like thing are not as clear-cut as I think the WS-Only proponents are making it out to be. Developing in a SOAP system is as binding to a language and an API as is developing in Jini/Javaspaces. Only seems *more* proprietary. -Patrick Yahoo!
