I wish this article would describe why to use SOAP. I was under the impression that SOAP was a fairly dead technology. Particularly as we move to PUSH services with PubSubHub or the RSS version (I forget what it's called).

The RSS real-time technology is called RSSCloud: http://rsscloud.org/

Pubsubhub and RSS cloud are "competing" approaches to real time notifications.

SOAP is dead for good reason. Its an overcomplicated POS. I will pretty much refuse (unless there is no other alternative) to use a web service that only supports SOAP.

My conspiracy theory regarding SOAP is that major tool vendors support it because you need a complicated and expensive tool to design a SOAP service.

..because you need a complicated and expensive tool to design a SOAP service...

huh? Don't think so. Can you please give some more info about your opinion? My SOAP services was always easier to implement than others like XML-RPC for example. Never found anything complicated about SOAP.

Besides if you do need something like SOAP but without the unnecessary overcomplications you always have XML-RPC (http://www.xmlrpc.com/) which I use a lot.

Agreed. I had to check the date on this article to make sure it was really from 2009, and not 4 years ago.

SOAP is so 20th century :-)

Seriously, a long time ago I implemented SOAP for a commercial J2EE product, and used SOAP, but I don't use it anymore. Good riddance - REST style is easier to support and use.

I just wrote a book for APress on Web 3.0, and my pitch was that it is more about publishing and reusing data.
