[SoapRMI] newbie: CORBA -> XSOAP

[Randy Heiland]

I'm going to stick my neck out and ask some newbie (to XSOAP) questions.

I have a client-server (visualization) app that uses CORBA for communication
and am curious about swapping out CORBA for XSOAP.  Essentially my requirements
are:

 - a Linux factory server (currently a C++ CORBA servant)
    - capable of forking off a server per client (or something analogous)
 - a Java Swing client (using 1.3.1)
 - ability to return binary (compressed image) data

One question:  am I required to run a web server to do the XSOAP stuff?

Any suggestions, or pointers to examples in the downloaded pkg would be
welcome!

thanks,
