If SOAP becomes DCOM 2 (or CORBA 2), the only thing that argues for its success is that, unlike DCOM and CORBA, it is supported by Microsoft and the rest of the world. However, when I see how complex web services standards are becoming, I just can't see how the SOAP version of web services will be any more successful than DCOM or CORBA.
