Is SOAP viable for local process communication?

Hi all,

I am new to whole idea of "web services" and architectures such as .NET
and J2EE so please bare with me. I am trying to research as much as
possible before asking silly questions but there is so much out there!
I need to start somewhere!!!

My question is, when developing local non-web based applications, is
SOAP still the standard way to communicate between applications in the
..NET world?

I realise SOAP is less efficient than other mechanisms and I also
realise the decision to use SOAP depends on the problem domain (whether
the app could potentially become web-based is certainly a factor) but
that's not the qeustion - regardless of the advantages/disadvantages
(which I will evalulate at a later time) I am just wondering whether
SOAP is used this way in real world scenarios, as a local process
communication mechanism or whether it's just too slow (for example) for
this to be viable.

Hello pa***********@d sl.pipex.com,

The question is where and when do u want to use SOAP?
In case of enterprise apps - SOAP is misleading, coz it use .net remouting
that is slow
In case of Web-app - WS is the best choise due to heterogeniety

Just want to share my experience on XML-RPC. We were working on a messaging middleware. We were using XML-RPC as communication protocol amoing client apps and server. Client could be written by Java, C/C++, VB, Delphi on both Windows or Unix platforms. Seams like XML-RPC( similiar to SOAP as you know) was a good choice for us. But while the project went on, I encountered some critical problems: First of all, performance problem....

I had a play with XML-RPC the other day, and it seemed really simple to use; which really made an impression on me. But you can't make data persist on the server (not without rolling your own mechanism, at any rate). I'm thinking here about thin clients, where the main process runs on a server. Is there any free solution to this problem? Is SOAP the answer?

I cannot really grasp the current development status of the various Soap modules around. Those I have found seem...

If my question sounds ill-formed, please cut me some slack as I'm just getting started with this part of the code.

However, we'd like to communicate from client-side javascript instead of

We've developped a web service that is called by javascript clients using the webservice.htc. We've discovered that for certain clients we get the soap error <faultstring>Unable to handle request without a valid action parameter.> Please supply a valid soap action.</faultstring> What I think is happening is their firewalls are either removing or modifying the SoapAction header, so I tried, as someone suggested in another thread, to add...

Hi, I'm trying to get the Perl SOAP::Lite examples to work on a Windows PC, running Apache 2.2.4. Apache is definitely serving CGI scripts, as I've tested a dummy Hello World thing.
