Hi,
The following might be interesting?
http://www.zope.org/Members/guylux/Zope-soap

I haven't tested it because I don't really have any soap clients
yet, but I have checked the code to see how much that needs to
be patch to get Soap running. It doesn't seems to be that much?
(The Soap libraries I have looked at hasn't been quite strait forward).

This product might be sufficient to your needs?
Please let me know if you evaluate this product more thoroughly :-)

Of course it would be nice with WSDL and UDDI support as well, but
I guess they need to be integrated in to the AppServer parts of Zope
to really be useful? (Like ZClasses for instance)

Best Regards,
