 What is SOAP?  Example SOAP Code.  SOAP Characteristics.  Use for SOAP.  Advantages.  Disadvantages.  Conclusion.

 SOAP is an XML based, lightweight protocol used for the exchange of information in a distributed system.  SOAP contains three parts: ◦ An envelope. ◦ A Header. ◦ A Body.

 The envelope is a tool that defines a framework that contains details in order to describe the content of a message and how to process the message.  The header enforces encoding rules helps applications exchange their defined data types.  The body can be used to represent any remote procedure calls and following responses.

 SOAP messages are usually transmitted one way from a sender to a receiver.  SOAP messages are able to be combined as a way to implement request and respond patterns.  SOAP is considered to be a stateless protocol, which means transactions are independent set of requests and responses.  SOAP messages are encoded with XML.

 SOAP’s main use is the transmission of data. It is considered a framework for messaging that transfers information in XML form over HTTP. 08/lectures/lecture_3_soap.pdfhttp:// 08/lectures/lecture_3_soap.pdf - Slide 8

 Widely used in IT Industries.  User friendly in readability and when it comes to firewall setup.  SOAP can be easily transferred among different platforms.  Widely used for HTTP, which can make SOAP easily scalable.

 SOAP can be slower than other protocols.  SOAP has no built-in security feature for the message.  SOAP is passed by value instead of being passed by reference, which can result in synchronization errors.

 SOAP is an XML based, lightweight protocol used for the exchange and transmission of information.  A SOAP message contains three parts, an envelope which contains its header, and body.  SOAP messages are usually transmitted one way from a sender to a receiver but can also be combined to implement request and respond patterns.
