Object interoperability?

[Seth Ladd <se...@brivo.com>]

Hello,

Has anyone had experience sending Java beans to endpoints that are not
written in Java via SOAP?  All the examples and samples I have seen
demonstrate SOAP used for simple method calls where parameters and return
date are primitives or simple collections of primitives such as arrays.  I'm
wondering if SOAP is good for method calls that have Objects as parameters.
Does SOAP support such a usage?

In our scenario, a Java based system would initiate a SOAP call to an
arbitrary endpoint.  I'm curious if SOAP supports the method parameter to
have a parameter of type Object (not in the Java sense, in the OO sense).

I noticed that on the Apache SOAP web page, it claims it can use SOAP
encoding to serialize an arbitrary Java bean.  Will this work when
connecting to, say, Perl's SOAP::Lite?

Thanks very much for any hints or tips.

Seth
