how bad is soap?

[Juergen Schoenwaelder <schoenw@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de>]

People often argue that SOAP is somehow a bad complex thing and will
definitely not work on routers and such. When talking to these folks,
it often turns out that they have never really looked at SOAP
implementations or believe that SOAP requires Java, complex tools are
such things to be used, which certainly is not really the case.

I recommend that people who only have a vague idea how SOAP
implementations can look like in practice take some time to download
the gSOAP implementation and to play with it. (No, I am not involved
in this project.)

Having seen other RPC systems before, I believe this implementation
does really not perform bad. But please make up your own mind.
