Well, SOAP itself might not be so ugly, but once you start using it and lose your teeth, hair and sanity - you become ugly. So there.

In all seriousness, though - SOAP might sound well enough in specifications, but after several years of exposure to it; it's very difficult to use in real life. Primarily because the world's two primary programming environments (.Net and java (using Apache's axis)) have incompatibilities. And SOAP is available in a thousand versions, Apache's Axis has multiple versions of it's multiple versions etc. etc. It's a mess.

The idea is cool, but the implementation is lacking. And anyway, if you need simple communication between a coiple of processes, SOAP is overkill.

Don't go to SOAP hell if you have control over both apps, use JSON- RPC or REST instead.

Or plists serialized into strings or... anything else.

Hello,

I have to start a new project, help me choose the right way :-)

I need to create two distinct webobjects applications, one running on my customer's server, and one running in the my webfarm. There are also two distinct databases, one on customer and one on my webfarm.
So, the each application access it's own database.

I need that the application on my webfarm get access to some data in the customer's database, but I cannot connect directly to database, I should ask the data to the application running on my customer.

I have never done this, I have heard about SOAP ( is right ?? ), do you know some examples ?
I'm reading this doc...
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/WebObjects/Web_Services/Introduction/chapter_2_section_1.html

right?
