Yes you can, since they're two different things. What you probably meant was that you can't leave WSDL out of "big architecture", W3C standards-intensive Web services. Of course, RPC-style SOAP without the contracts imposed by WSDL may remove some of the attractions for some people (who really should consider CORBA, anyway), but then there's always document-oriented SOAP, although if you don't want the baggage associated with routing and other things, plain XML messaging would be easier. And there's always XMPP if you want stuff like routing and a standard that isn't undergoing apparently continuous change. Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
