I would say left ahead ... the point is I will need to use QuantLib in
Excel. Not happy about that but my new job will require it, at least to
some extent

we were talking about CORBA and SOAP. I'm interested in both technologies,
but given that time is a limited resource ...
[BTW Joel how is going with the CORBA currency?]
In RiskMap we developed CORBA solutions, both in C++ and Python, based
respectively on QuantLib and QuantLib-Python. We've used OmniORB (open source).
On the top of the CORBA layer there are SOAP (Python), servlet (Java), and
COM (C++) solutions.
Python has a few SOAP modules, Java has native support for CORBA, the
COM-CORBA bridge has been quite difficult to implement.
I'm pretty sure Enrico, Adolfo, and Luigi would be glad to have some
feedback/contribution from this list on the design of such a machinery.
Wouldn't you guys? ;-)
