SOA with Web Services (SOAP, etc.) is currently very popular technology. So, how is the support of the technology in the most popular development environments - the web one (PHP) and the desktop/server one (Windows, Visual Studio)?
The PHP has got some built-in (but limited) support for SOAP. If you have a choice and possibility to install PHP extensions, probably the much better choice is the WSO2 Web Services Framework for PHP.
The strange scenario is with the Microsoft Visual Studio support for Web Services. The Microsoft has decided to abandon the SOAP Toolkit in favor of .NET's Windows Communication Foundation.
"Fortunately" the company is going to extend its native support for Web Services. In the Windows 7 there is a new Windows Web Services API which will be available also for XP and Vista. If you can't wait, the gSOAP seems to be the best solution so far, or to use the commercial components like IP*Works!.
