In short, SOAP 1.2 allows and encourages the use of HTTP GET to invoke services that simply return data, thus allowing one to hyperlink to SOAP services, exploit HTTP caches of the results of frequently-accessed services, etc.

SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) is a new XML based protocol to let software components communicate over the Internet. SOAP is a key element of Microsoft's Windows DNA 2000 architecture for future Internet application development.

In this paper, we detail the state of SOAP standardization and discuss the other organizations responsible for defining these standards. We believe that the efforts in standardizing SOAP, along with technology’s acceptance of it, is sufficient for the MISMO Architecture Work Group to use it in their designs.

This article is written to help you dig through the SOAP soup we have in front of us and create a foundation for truly understanding what SOAP is all about. This article is not meant to provide in-depth detail about SOAP, but is written as a preparation for future articles where we will get into the guts of SOAP.

You know the scenario, you need to somehow get data from your server to your customer's server and this needs to be implemented tomorrow. No problem, let's write a VB Com object that will create a constant link to the customer's server through Port 1452 and anytime our database is updated it will transmit the data across!

Demonstrates how to call ASP.NET webservices from the client within other languages and platforms.

Creating a SOAP client using C++ instead of VB.

Abhishek Srivastava begins an interesting series of articles on SOAP Interoperability. The first article illustrates building a SOAP Web service using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 and Microsoft SOAP Toolkit. And then accessing the service from a Java client application that uses Apache SOAP Toolkit 2.1.

In this article, we'll look at SOAP and Web services support in various Microsoft products. We'll create Web services using .NET Framework, SOAP Toolkit, and SQLXML 3.0. Next, we'll look at writing Web services clients using C#, Microsoft SOAP Toolkit, Office XP Web Services Toolkit, and MSXML. At the end, we'll also learn about the Web Services support in FoxPro 7.0.

In our previous article on architectures for learning systems ("The next big thing…") we talked about some of the ways that different standards-compliant programs could be connected using "services".

When most people think of SOAP, they think of sending XML requests, and getting XML responses over the HTTP protocol. This does not always have to be the case. In fact, the SOAP protocol defines HTTP as one possible transport for SOAP messages.

Software developers have many choices for building Web service systems. In a recent investigation, Frank Cohen discovered that a choice of SOAP encoding style in particular immediately affects system scalability and reliability.

When most people think of SOAP, they think of sending XML requests, and getting XML responses over the HTTP protocol. This does not always have to be the case.

SOAP specifies an encoding to represent common types found in databases, programming languages (for example, Java programming language), and data repositories. Apache SOAP's toolkit supports encoding by supplying a base set of (de)serializers; classes that do the grunt work of mapping Java types to serialized XML representations.

When you're programming an application in which remote computers need to exchange objects over the Web—for example, an n-tier application in which the client sends requests to the server over HTTP—you have a choice of approaches.

Last month we built a simple client for the Google API. In this month's column we'll look at how SOAP headers can be used to talk to an intermediate server that adds value to the basic search service. The value-add is actually pretty silly: we'll send the query, pick one of the results at random to return, and send it back as an HTML page in Pig Latin. Our goal, however, is to understand how to process SOAP headers, and why you'd want to do so.
