I think of this as CORNA Strikes back. The article made it pretty 
clear that the developers involved really didn't believe in web 
services at all, and that they'd much rather be using CORBA, RMI, or 
something similar. However, empirically those technologies failed in 
the marketplace. They never achieved the adoption or interest web 
services are seeing.  A CORBAized web services will be no more 
successful than CORNA itself was.
