To SOAP or Not To SOAP?

[mooseshoes]

All:

I have a single server/multiple client application where the clients are scattered over the Internet. I would like to SEND messages from the server to the client via HTTP without having each client request information.

Is SOAP a candidate for this application or is SOAP exclusively a pull technology?

Thanks,

Moose

SOAP is fine.

SOAP is fine.

Its great, as long as you want to spend the next six months of your life figuring out how to use it.

it is really not that bad. I have started with gSOAP (and still use it) and Java axis and it is pretty easy.
