   RE: [xml-dev] Will Web Services Kill HTTP?

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

HFN:  "while the applications may differ, the fundamental 
architectural principles don't have to".

That might need a little exposition.   The claim 
among many is that use of the RPC style calls in 
some SOAP systems directly contravenes the REST 
principles claimed as the central architectural 
and bounding principles of "the Web".  I don't have 
trouble accepting that there will be Internet systems 
that operate differently from these principles and 
therefore, in strict terms, are "off the Web" and 
further, that "on" and "off" the web doesn't mean 
impermeable boundaries for information. 

So it seems to me that clarity in the defining and 
bounding architectures is vital.

Exactly - use HTTP for what HTTP is good at and SOAP for what it is good
at. Note that while the applications may differ, the fundamental
architectural principles don't have to.
