I would also recommend taking a look at Representational State
Transfer (REST). I have not made any attempt myself to implement REST
in WebObjects, but it has become part of my daily routine when
working in Ruby on Rails.
The following, rather comical, look at SOAP vs REST is what actually
got me interested in REST. And, this was before the RoR team had
fully embraced REST as "the way" to do web services.
The "S" Stands for Simple
I'm not saying that REST is absolutely the option for you, I'm saying
that it's just as viable as SOAP for doing web services, and that I
find it to be a good lightweight alternative to SOAP.
P.S. This is NOT intended to be a plug for RoR. All I'm saying is
that RoR is opinionated software, and their preference is REST over
SOAP. In this regard I agree.

Hello John;
You may be interested in my JSON-RPC infrastructure in LEWOStuff;

See subsection 0.5.23 "JSON-RPC" of the overview PDF and then read
around other areas of the PDF where you can find "JSON-RPC". When
the WOWODC videos come out I also did a talk this year on this
material as well. In my work, I have found this to be
substantially more enjoyable and straight-forward to work with in
comparison with AXIS/WO, but I am not 100% sure what .Net or Win32
JSON-RPC libraries there are.
cheers.
I'm going to be implementing a web service with WO and was
wondering if there was a way to do this using something other than
the extremely verbose SOAP messages. It's a private service, so I
can do whatever I want, but ideally it would be easy to setup both
the client and server. And the clients will be native windows
applications. SOAP seems to be the easy path, but I'm worried
about the size of the messages since there are going to be a LOT
of them. Any suggestions?
