Re: REST vs SOAP for calls to remote server

Infact the client and the server are both in domain A. I need to make
API calls to server B in domain B to get data. I think I can use SOAP
to make API calls from server A in domain A to server B in domain B
which are not necessarily Ajax. The server will be in java as using
GWT.

In step 2, on the server, using gwt can I make REST API calls to
server B in domain B?

Thanks
