Hi,
I think it would be time to support SOAP out-of-the-box in some way in Zope 2. XMLRPC is still a useful functionality but the whole world speak of web-services and Zope should support building web-services at least on the SOAP level. I am sure that would bring back some more attention to Zope as application-server.
There are several SOAP related products available on zope.org. Does anyone know about their functionality, pros & cons? I know that there is also some SOAP support available for Plone/Archetypes (I think written by Benjamin Saller).
i like the idea ver much, we have been doing a number of projects that needed SOAP connectivity. we always used pythons HTTP/URL-libs to connect to the services. therefore I can not comment available Zope/Plone based tools. Using SOAP implementing these project not only might have been more straight forward but would have left the client (even) more confident to have chosen the right tool. robert
