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***********@dsl.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
