Here's a "Hello, world!" example. First the server:

package require SOAP::Domain

namespace eval YourNamespace {

proc iam {name} {
return "Hello, $name!"
}

SOAP::export iam

}

SOAP::Domain::register -prefix /yourPrefix \
-namespace YourNamespace \
-uri YourNamespace

Put the server in the CGI directory of your webserver (tclhttpd works
great if you don't already have one). Now the client:

package require SOAP

SOAP::create iam \
-uri YourNamespace \
-proxy http://localhost:8015/yourPrefix \
-params {name string}

Now invoke the procedure in the client:

(sandbox) 1 % iam busirane
Hello, busirane!

You can find out more by reading the man pages and the wiki. See
http://mini.net/tcl/1753 for starters.

If you control both the client and server, then SOAP is a bunch
of unnecessary overhead. (unless this is just for testing and you
eventually need to to allow many clients access, in which case
a standard interface like SOAP is probably a good idea).

But if it is just your two apps talking then a simple socket
connection is easiest, or you can also look into the comm
package.
