I'll try not to go off topic here.
Always an important thing to avoid - market-droid speak influencing
technical decisions. Certainly I've seen it happen with people using
"XML" in inappropriate ways.
However for me "web services" became a way to solve an integration from
C# content management system to a (any) Java based TM engine. I guess,
yeah, I'm not especially fussed whether its XML/RPC or SOAP but seems
like the latter is easier to ask for given that the latter is basically
a more comprehensive and well thought out version of the former. Options
like CORBA don't seem appropriate. We could roll our own solution, still
a possibility, but if someone had already wrapped the TM-API or
XTM-Fragments or something in a Web Services layer then we wouldn't need
to.
Also, I there is a difference between web services in Java and in the MS
C# IDE which makes use of Web Services especially easy.
