What is the best SOAP service to use?

Hello,

I'm a newbie who hopes they have come to the correct place.

Basically, I want to develop a web service for consumption by .NET
program (hopefully C#). The performance of the service would have to be
able to be very fast in response and be somewhat reliable (i.e. not
abending every 2 or 3 minutes).

I was going to try to develop the service in C (using gSOAP) but am now
leaning to JAVA (because a good amount of the code I have is already
written in this language). Is there a *significant* difference between
using a service written in C and one written in JAVA? Are there any
pitfalls that one has to look out for when using either JAVA or C?
Should I just keep the JAVA code or should I make an effort to convert
it C?

Any help, hints or advice would be *greatly* appreciated ;-)

COMP.LANG.C is definitely the wrong place - C#, Java, and SOAP are
all waaaaay off topic. The C element might be topical, but CLC
discusses ISO standard C, and I suspect that SOAP will require
nonstandard extensions, networking etc.

A top tip: don't post to groups where you've not lurked or at least
read a day's messages, it can lead to flames when you post offtopic or
inappropriately.

Once you mention C# and .NET the only possible newsgroup that could
be usefule is the microsoft one. You are off topic everywhere
else. By simply reading those newsgroups for a short time you
should have realized this and not have generated the monstrous
off-topic cross-post.

f'ups set.

I disagree. Especially in the early days, before software became Big
Business (tm), I worked with programmers who did allow themselves to
experience SOAP often enough. The result was pungent and unpleasant.

So to the OP, I'd suggest Dial.

Mark, why didn't you set followups? None of us need to hear
replies to this.
