Dave Winer's Definition: "SOAP is an XML format, specification, and a set of implementations that allow software running on disparate operating systems, running in different environments to make procedure calls over the Internet." I think of it as a complement to COM or CORBA, though, not necessarily a replacement. SOAP doesn't have to run over HTTP, BTW -- you can send and receive SOAP messages over any transport you like. > -----Original Message----- > From: johns@s...
