Usually something verbose that uses up a lot of bandwidth and then CPU resources
parsing the response LOL. I'm being a bit facetious as these have many
good uses but presumably the OP's question amoounts to "how much work
do I need to do myself" or can something generate R stubs as with java?
Quick goog search does turn up result ( I have no idea what this domain
is, seems like wiki spoof almost hard to knw ) but apparently you
want something called SSOAP although I would normally suggest finding
less verbose way to communicate if possible,
