Overhead of WebServices Vs Remoting...?

I am trying to find out what the overheads are regarding using WebServices over Remoting, but I can't find anything.

Does anyone have any info, links etc

One problem I would mention with Remoting is that there are problems with authenticating if you have a proxy setup.

I have created both web service and remoting applications. Which one you use depends entirley upon your application :)

A web service has the down side of requiring a web server in order to host your application. There are also many configuration issues to worry about if you are connecting to a database or the file system.

Just some random thoughts :)

Can you cite some configuration issues? I'm currently working with web services and will be deploying very soon, so that'd be useful to me.

So far, I've had no problems with web services.

The company I work for uses Small Business Server 2003, onto which we have deoplyed a web service. It took almost as long (if not longer imo) to configure the web service to talk to a database, as well as have permissions to talk to asp, as it did to write the application !

Small Business Server is by default locked down quite strongly. While it did take some time to deploy the web service it is now up and running fine.
