Re: Web Services/SOAP and CORBA

Hi,

I see this as a SOAP vs. CORBA, XML vs. CORBA, and the world vs. CORBA
thing (like Frederick says). This guy doesn't have an independient
oppinion, and is much in the CORBA side. Well like me in the SOAP side,
so ...

"Web services have interoperability that resembles CORBA around 1994"
... But Webservice are not here since that 7 years he claimed, let pass
7 years ...

"Now there is another party wanting to travel over port 80: the Web
Services’ HTTP transport". Absolutely not true. You can bound SOAP to
any other port, this is not restricted to port 80. As for the
saturation, I don't see too much, as all things all depends in what are
you sending.

"Various people report that SOAP performance is staggeringly bad and
that the wasted memory and network bandwidth is enormous", also not
agree I see SOAP very lighweight, but oppinions are oppinions.

For the rest of the document is more or less (I tend to think less)
accurate. I wouldn't trust vague comments like "various people" and so
.. This must be demonstrated.

Is it accurate?

Thanks in advance,
