Has anyone implemented a SOAP based RPC or otherwise synchronous callable > style interface in production? We recently utilized SOAP to integrate two app servers together -- essentially one is servicing traditional client requests with a J2EE+DB application. A small part, but extremely essential, utilizes a second app server hosted by a partner company. The interaction between the two app servers is SOAP (over http). RMI wouldnt hack it (well) for this app... the app servers are behind http web servers; the web servers are exposed to the internet and implement SSL authentication (https) for all connections. (Yes, I suppose we could have done RMI over HTTP, but that never seemed to work well for me, even in theory.) (As for the other items, eg UDDI, no not yet.) This isnt web services per-se, in the notion sun has been pushing with smarter clients (eg java apps in the web start container) using SOAP from the client tier. jeff
