Thanks for showing that you really, REALLY need to use 12 different standards and a $1000 IDE to get some text over HTTP, that you can do it with slightly less complexity. I'm not going to go into the whole REST vs RPC thing. I will mention that when you are designing a solution, please remember that YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It). If you're just trying to shuttle some text around HTTP, just use HTTP. You might not even need XML! Sometimes, the giant WS stack (whatever that is) is just too much. Don't get caught in the hype!
