Hi Today, most of the Soap implementations use HTTP for transport protocol..However, in the near future, we expect more support for "Asynchronous" transport protocol like SMTP, JMS, BEEP etc.
I have following concern in this regard: 1) Does the "Aynchrony" make sense in "RPC" (encoded) style of SOAP or it would be only useful for "messaging" (literal) style of SOAP? 2) Are RPC *synchronous* per se, or does it make sense to have RPC *asynchronous*? 3) What exactly do we want to achieve by using SMTP, JMS, BEEP etc., as transport mechanism for SOAP? I would appreciate any comments on the above. thanks, regards, Naresh Agarwal
