How can I build a stand-alone SOAP-based Web Services using Delphi? Must work with Delphi 2009, but it'd be nice if it worked with older ones too.

The built-in WebBroker Web Services creates CGI or ISAPI. It would be nice to create a stand-alone executable that I can control from bottom to top, especially during development.

RemObjects SDK for Delphi (RO/Delphi).

Different messaging formats are provided, including our own highly efficient binary BinMessage format, as well as support for SOAP, XML-RPC and - new - JSON encoding, in case you want to make your servers accessible to clients not using RO, or write clients to access Web Services provided by others.
