My gut feeling is that SOAP is going to be big. I have at least a couple of reasons to think so. First of all, as you know, SOAP is based on open standards such as XML. This has led to the widespread acceptance of SOAP in both Microsoft and anti-Microsoft camps. That's great news for developers. Second, SOAP is becoming the base for a number of other standards, such as Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI). Both SOAP and UDDI are critical pieces of Web services, which many claim will be the next generation of Web application development.
