I think you might want to just use Cocoa Java projects and just stick
with the java IO classes you already know. There are many people on
here with the Objective-C experience that should tell you the best place
to start for IO in Objective-C though - I can't help you there.

As for SOAP, I would like to use some eventually too, but I don't think
Cocoa has anything like that built in, and I am pretty sure Objective-C
does not have anything right now. You can call some C++ libraries for
SOAP if there are some - but I can't help you there either. My
recommendation is that you should look at
http://xml.apache.org for some
java SOAP jars you can use. I have been building some XML/XSL Cocoa
projects with the xerces and xalan jars with great success! I have also
used the apache SOAP at work - but not with Cocoa yet. It works well.
The only thing I am worried about with the external jars is that I do
not know how to deploy this project AND have the jars built in as well -
but I haven't gotten that far yet - and I'm sure it's not that tough.
I wish I could help more, but I figured you would be happy that you got
one response!
Good Luck.
