[Mono-dev] WebService application model

[Marcos Cobeña Morián]

Hi Mads,

Coming from CORBA world, maybe .NET Remoting is your solution.

When using ASP.NET Web Services, you basically expose methods which
are accesible just using SOAP over HTTP. In a n-tier application, WS
just exposes some, for example, business methods, but no states, as
you're maybe used to work with CORBA.

.NET Remoting allows you doing that last thing: working with objects
over the net, being possible to use SOAP/HTTP, or many other protocols
such like TCP, and so on.

I'm sure google-ing for ".NET Remoting site:msnd2.microsoft.com" will
bring you back plenty of results. In addition, Mono Olive (WCF) could
even more interesting. ;-)

My two bits.

Cheers,
