[ome-devel] C/C++ client library for OME::Remote

[Harry Hochheiser]

Chris:

yes, I know we're not currently using SOAP,  but the point is that we  
could if we wanted to. In theory, we should just be able to swap around 
a couple of libraries (some on the client and some on the server). If 
there was enough value to be gained, this would be worth considering, 
right? Or is there some inherent objection to even considering SOAP?
