Well, I might be considering it for a large project of mine. Still I need study it first because I need to figure it serves my needs. I have been considering to use CORBA to take business objects out of the code of my Web pages. That would make it easy to use such objects in non-HTML/Web environments. If I got SOAP right, it basically can be used to interface with a object request broker using XML/HTTP as format and transport protocol instead of IIOP as in CORBA. It seems that CORBA would be faster and it is not just a RPC protocol, but the dependency on the existence of a ORB that I can interface from PHP either for placing object requests or for providing object services, makes me wonder if it is that worthy. For those that don't know, there is a Orbit interface extension module for PHP, but it does not yet provide BOA/POA interfaces for object service providers. My problem is that I don't know more than this. Does anybody has any insight that would like to share on the issue of SOAP versus CORBA?
