xml-dev - RE: XML across varied Servers

[Joshua Allen <joshuaa@microsoft.com>]

COM+ is just COM with some extra services -- Anyway,
CORBA and DCOM calls are both *synchronous* methods,
as are sockets.  I assume you really do want asynch.
communication?  SOAP/XML-RPC is a more open, standard
way to make calls between systems supporting CORBA, COM,
or practically anything else.  Most SOAP implementations
are based on HTTP, though; and since your question was
about a way to send XML data, you are in the same boat.

Making NT and Unix communicate over MSMQ/MQSeries is
not nearly as difficult as you might think.  Both products
are, IMHO, very easy to use.  SMTP is also quite easy,
and using a database as a queue is also easy.  I suggest
you start with whichever one you prefer and try to prototype
it.  It's not tough..
