Web Services API going to be deprecated?

[svast]

Hi folks and specialists,

I am pretty new to Alfresco, and need to make some developments on top of it.
So far this is a great product with a lot of APIs (to many?).

My first question in my very first post is reltated to a rumor claiming something like "Alfresco plans to deprecate their SOAP API".
Is that true? If SOAP API gets deprecated, we can imagine the same for Web Services…
With the heavy efforts put on WebScripts API, I can understand such statement… but I would need to develop a SOAP based WebService, and I want to stick to the upcoming releases (3.0, …) of Alfresco.
What options do I have then?

Where is the best place to find documentation (tutorial,…) and sample code about the creation of a new Web Service?

My last question may not be asked in the right place: Is it possible to do SOAP with Web Scripts?

Thank you very much for your help

Don't know where you heard that rumour, but it's not true.

We'll continue to support SOAP & REST.

ok thank you for the reply, this is what I expected from you Alfresco guys.
I've also read the recent answer here: http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/community/forums/message_boards/message/527205

BTW, my other previous questions are still alive, so please if anyone could help and orient my searches on the right track…
Thanks in advance
