Calling webservices from RR

[Alessandro Manotti]

Sorry Andre, you agree, RunRev can manage xml.

But as you know, soap is not easy to be coded, even if you have
powerful xml tools.
But since soap is becoming much famous, I think Runtime Revolution
company should provide a tested library (a lot of client and server
programming languages already supply that).
Furthermore, since RunRev is a perfect tool for rich-client creation,
I think a good, full-featured, official library, should be
definetively supplied.
