Although I am not a big fan of SOAP, I have to call some existing web
services. Is there any open source CL SOAP implementation? I found some
sample code in CL-XML but it is far form complete and looks like its
development is not active.
And if I have to implement SOAP myself which Lisp XML parser would be
the best choice?

I asked for this about 3 weeks ago and got no (useful) responses.
If you decide on taking on this job, I might be interested in
collaborating with you.

I'm currently using the implementation by Sven Van Caekenberghe,
which works quite well (as does his xml-rpc).

I may start working on it but not before middle of the next month
(vacation :-).

It daoes not support XML name spaces.

I have not tested any of the XML-parsers extensivly, but cxml, that you can
find on common-lisp.net seems to be reasonable well designed and complete,
including namespace-support, support for DOM and SAX-style parsing and even
a XMLS-compatible s-expression-based parsing.
