True as long as you consider how long and to what depth the systems can sustain that cooperation, can handle issues of synchronous communication, and how many round trips does it take to get one communication complete (coarse or fine grained). At the end of this, unless you have an application that really requires the efficiency, the costs will argue that it is better to move data, not code. Not new news.

I just wanted to thank everyone for their replies to my query. It appears to have sparked off some interesting discussion - but most of you comfirmed my original thoughts Would it be fair to summarise that........ XML is ideal as a method of exchanging data between systems where the implementation on one of more sides is unknown, but between co-operating systems there are other possibly more efficient methods where data can be structured programmatically. ..... ? Of course one of the other advantages being XML's machine and human readbility feature.
