Hi Rino, Some of the basic benefits are:
-Just about any client-side programming language can be use. This means that you can build SOAP requests into your existing infrastructure -SOAP (over HTTP) is easy to get through firewalls. This can significantly reduce the implementation cycle in corporate networks. -SOAP can be integrated with many server side technologies (CORBA, .NET, EJBs, etc)through SOAP servers that translate the SOAP request into the native protocol (e.g. SOAP client to IIOP). There's a list of SOAP benefits at: http://www.capeclear.com/products/capeconnect/soap/ You can read more strategic SOAP comments at: http://www.capeclear.com/clear_thinking/soap.shtml Regards, /PJ -----Original Message----- From: Rino Srivastava [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 December 2001 16:57 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE soap versus JSP Can someone tell me why one should use soap instead of using JSP?
