soap for inter-process communication

Hello,
I'm considering using SOAP / HTTP for inter-process communication. The reason is that the related processes could be located either on the same computer, or on separate hosts depending on the situation. In my experience, processing SOAP messages requires a separate server, which seems like overkill for IPC. However, using SOAP/HTTP (instead XML and plain sockets) seems to provide some standardization benefits, although I'm not completely clear on how. I guess because the applications will all have been configured to interact with a SOAP server.   
In my experience, using SOAP has required a separate application server. I'd like to build this logic (eg., process the the HTTP, parse the soap envelope) as a separate component of our application instead of using an app server with all the footprint, setup and overhead considerations.

I'd be grateful for some guidance in this area.

Cheers,
Chris

I think you may find what you need in RMI which was designed precisely for this task.

Apache SOAP 2.3.1 and Java

Does anyone have any experience running Apache SOAP 2.3.1 and Java 1.5/1.6?

Currently I'm using Java 1.4 but I would like to update to 1.5/1.6, but
I've noticed that under Java 1.5 on some Clients my SOAP calls sometimes
slow down to a factor of 100-1000 times slower - does anyone have any
experience with this problem?  Any tips?  I am unable to reliably
reproduce this problem - it could be client configuration setting that
I've missed, but it always only surfacing under Java 1.5+ (even on dual
Java installations)

Basically I want a smooth transition path for my Java Web Start
application - involving either first changing for a new Java
Installation and then later using its newer built in SOAP/Web Service
support or changing my SOAP implementation to a new external library, so
which supports Java 1.4 and 1.5/1.6.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Martin Cavanagh
