Yes, and taking that at the SOAP level, a SOAP node could receive SOAP messages traveling over HTTP and forward them to another SOAP node over SMTP. Is that still a gateway? Whatever it is called, it should be a SOAP intermediary, right? Switching the underlying protocol has always been one of the SOAP scenarios and, if I remember well, the SOAP nodes where that occurs are SOAP intermediaries. Ugo
