To sum up my opinion of Mr. Prasad's article, i will quote an anonymous critic on Andy's Kaufman's remarks to a Memphis, TN professional wrestling crowd: Mr. Prasad sure is hell bent on Java as the ONLY tool to develope Open Source with. So, if i am a 'mule', Mr. Prasad, so be it! I like Java - i just think Perl is a a better language for handling SOAP and XML.

Apparently he has never heard of mod_soap via SOAP::Lite. maverick and myself wrote a distributed AAA system using web services with that module, entirely in Perl - and with Apache, not IIS.

SOAP and web services, IMHO, should allow programmers to pick ANY LANGUAGE they want. SOAP is just glorified socket programming made a little easier, and a whole lot more portable across languages. Why can't we all get just along?

/me steps off of soapbox
