I just read this opinion article on “Are Web Services the New CORBA?” (Via Mark)
“SOAP is really just another RPC protocol”? How can a specification about how to process messages in a particular format without any request-response semantics, without any dispatching semantics, without any notion of a procedure and parameters, be associated with RPC? This is like saying that XHTML is another RPC protocol.
I don’t disagree with the entire commentary; indeed, many in the community are treating Web Services as the new CORBA. However, some of the WS-* protocols can be more naturally used to build service-oriented, message-focused applications and enable protocol-based integration.
