This is going to be big because it is a very large part of the new Microsoft
.NET strategy. In essence it will enable everyone and everything to talk
together without worrying about hardware, software or OS's incompatibilities
(well, that's the theory, anyway). Of course, I'm sure that MS will make
their own non-open extensions and tie everyone into their World<grin>.
I can't count the number of times I've heard this promise..
Anyone remember how Java was supposed to take over the world?
The best thing about SOAP is the sense of humour of the designers. Part of
the SOAP toolkit is called the Remote Object Proxy Engine, this is
responsible for the consumption of dispatching of SOAP messages. So, you get
SOAP on a ROPE!
Don't drop the SOAP! :)
