[Mono-list] Remoting and web services

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello,

> I don't have very clear the relationship between this 2 concepts:
> Remoting and Web Services.

Remoting is technology in .NET to do various kinds of RPC calls.  There
are tcp, http transports as well as binary, and xml (soap) based
formatters for its data.

Various people have developed other transports/formatters for Remoting
(CORBA and Ice).

Web Services on the other hand refers to a particular set of protocols
based on SOAP.

.NET has two implementations of SOAP: one is based on the Remoting
infrastructure, and another is based on the System.Web assembly.

Miguel.
