Mature SOAP Interface for R

4 messages · zubin, Roy Mendelssohn - NOAA Federal, Michael Lawrence +1 more

Hello, we are writing rich internet user interfaces and like to call R 
for some of the computational needs on the data, as well as some 
creation of image files.  Our objects communicate via the SOAP 
interface.  We have been researching the various packages to expose R as 
a SOAP service.

No current CRAN SOAP packages however.

Found 3 to date:

RSOAP (http://sourceforge.net/projects/rsoap/)
SSOAP http://www.omegahat.org/SSOAP/

looks like a commercial version?
http://random-technologies-llc.com/products/rsoap

Does anyone have experience with these 3 and can recommend the most 
'mature' R - SOAP interface package?

Connecting to R as a server via SOAP is one of the
many ways the biocep project

http://www.biocep.net

allows one to make use of R in statistical application
development (there is also RESTful web services,
connections over RMI, etc.).
