Hi,
We developped a workstation Windows C++ application (COM, Win32) - so
unmanaged code.
We want to develop a server application that communicates with these
client applications.
This server application could be written with any technology (.net, c+
+...).

So my question is : what is the best and simplest way to connect
these ?

SOAP/DCOM ?
..NET ? (problems with my client application written in C++ ?)

using http as the transport layer is important, so I exclude pure DCOM
connection.

Any advice should be great, because I'm a bit lost in this world in
constant evolution :)

Hello Johni,

I assume that the exposing web-services and applying WSE standards will be
the best way based on your requirements
