Firstly, thanks for all the quick replies. > Can you let me know what went wrong with SSOAP? It would be > good to fix this and I am about to turn my attention to it anyway. Well, I could not get SSOAP to pass the xmlns which specifies the set of services being requested in the place where soapanywhere expected it. SSOAP namespaced the actual function call <ns1:fun1 xmlns:ns1="service"> while soapanywhere wanted it declared in the envelope namespace declarations. SO, I don't really think it is a problem with the SSOAP implementation, rather it is probably an incomplete implementation of soap in soapanywhere.
If anyone knows of a more complete, embedded java soap implementation please let me know. AXIS would be nice, but I've not found how to deploy it without a tomcat style container. > > As for the "RCORBA" package - what precisely are you referring to? > I don't think there is a package named RCORBA, perhaps you mean > RSCORBA.

The architecture is that both R and Java directly access the DB for data storage and retrieval. R calls to Java are simply to invoke some datamining function (from the WEKA package), and to query where execution is up to. There is no proxying of data.
