Re: Web Services/SOAP and CORBA

If you are looking to use SOAP + DCOM operations, you may also want to
look at using .NET Remoting. This integrates well with the stuff you are
talking about and provides SOAP support. Plus, if you are already versed
in using DCOM and COM+, .NET Remoting may be a more natural alternative
for you.

Subject: Re: [SOAP] Web Services/SOAP and CORBA

Hello Leo,

You are saying "...use a library for WSDL and ORB.  Of course you can do
both by hand, but you got to be crazy to do that today."

I'm a DCOM programmer and I'm currently evaluating some SOAP toolkits
for
Java. Something strikes me: SOAP for Java is merely used as an interface
or
gateway to the original and heavyweight back-end (J2EE with EJB storing
data in a database)

What I'm looking for is a lightweight and easy to learn ORB service: a
service that will handle object lifetime and serialization of access to
objects, just like in DCOM.

Is RMI the correct answer?

BR.
