SOAP via stdin/stdout - how?

[Carsten Leue]

I would like to make a soap call that should work the following way: For every method invocation 1. the client starts the server executable 2. the client pipes the input message to stdin of the server process 3. the server reads stdin, decodes the soap message and processes it 4. the output message is written to stdout by the server 5. the client decodes the message and continues Ideally it would be possible to define a SOAP binding in the WSDL that define the executable to be started instead of specifying a URL. Is there something like a predefined EXE-binding in WSDL? Are there SOAP frameworks that allow you to pipe SOAP via stdin/stdout instead of making a http request? Best regards Carsten
