Hi Thomas,

writing a new protocol driver is not too hard, there are many plugin
examples (RMI, XML-RPC, SOCKET, CORBA) to take a copy and use as
a base.

I once tried a SOAP lib to embed as a plugin into xmlBlaster
but this lib was not suitable, as it did not allow to be configured
by java code as i wanted. Its configuration came from xml
files and was not adjustable anymore when loaded - this was too rigid 
for me.

I think you need to check the available SOAP libs if one of those
is suitable and give it a try.

best regards,

Marcel
