I have a project that is currently in production delivering some web-services using the REST approach. Right now, I need to delivery some of this web-services in SOAP too (it means that I will need to deliver some of the same web-services in SOAP and others a bit different), so, I ask you:

  1. Should I incorporate to the existent project the SOAP stack (libraries, configuration files, …), building another layer that deliver the data in envelopes way (some people call it “anti-corruption layer”) ?

  2. Should I build another project using just the canonical model in common (become it in a shared-library) ?

  3. … Or how do you proceed in similar situations ?

Please, consider our ideal target a SOA architecture.

Thanks.

    In our projects we have a facade layer which exposes the services and maps to business entities, and a business layer where the business logic is run.

    So to add a SOAP end point for an existing service, we just create a new facade and call in to the same business logic.

    In many cases it is even simpler, since we use WCF we can have a http SOAP endpoint for external clients, and a binary tcpip endpoint for internal clients. The new endpoint can be added by changing the configuration without any need to change the code.
