 SOAP on a ROPE
Anyone here want to provide a clear concise description of what SOAP is ? What does it do that couldn't be achieved with the standard protocols ? Apart from bypassing the firewall that is. ---

 SOAP on a ROPE
RPC that encodes data and method calls in XML
It encodes everything in XML. Other RPC's encoded in proprietary formats. DG

It is a standard protocol. Check out www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/ Of course, most of the authors are from Microsoft, so you tell me just how standard it will remain. -- Linux: Less filling, works great!

 SOAP on a ROPE
Remote procedure calls, encoded in XML using an HTTP transport.
It is a W3C standard.
That's what it's for.

Thank you for this clarification. I was mistakenly believing that the main purpose of SOAP was to provide a common XML interface to different technologies, allowing RPC between (possibly) incompatible platforms. But hey, I was also thinking that the whole XML thing was a cross-platform concept. (For the record, yes, this is irony). Nash.

You mean sarcasm. The question was, what does it achieve that other protocols can't, apart from bypassing the firewall. My answer was, that's what it's for.. bypassing the firewall, otherwise you wouldn't need it. You could just use RPC.

Sarcasm is a sub-set of irony. -- Bo G "Mankind does nothing save through initiatives on the part of inventors, great or small, and imitation by the rest of us. Individuals show the way, set the patterns. The rivalry of the patterns is the history of the world." (William James) Linus is just such an inventor; Linux is just such a pattern.

Huh? There's an RFC for Sun RPC (aka ONC). DCE defines an RFC spec as well. The main thing SOAP does that can't be done with those is to bypass firewalls. -- -| Bob Hauck -| To Whom You Are Speaking -| http://www.haucks.org/
