Listen, I'm no arch-enemy of SOAP, I've coded my share of web services, but vendor compliance (read non-compliance) and just the overall "concept baggage" that comes with web services turns me off (see Apache Axis documentation). If you have control of both ends of the pipe, and you've discovered brainless ways to parse XML (i.e. Jakarta Commons Digester), then give SOAP a REST. (I couldn't resist).
