How do Droplets work with Web services?
Droplets uses XML for server configuration, XSLT for documentation of configuration parameters, and XML to interact with outside applications and resources. XML is not used between Droplets client and server piece because of speed considerations, but this does not affect the non-proprietary XML-based nature of interaction between Droplets and all outside resources. In addition, applications presented as Droplets are fully capable of accessing XML-based Web services. Developers access Web Services from Droplets applications using standard Java XML & HTTP libraries, a commercial or open-source SOAP toolkit, or a middleware platform like GLUE.
