SOAP

Overview

SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) is a lightweight, XML based protocol for exchange of information in a ditributed environment. For the programmer, SOAP makes available an easy to use, language and system independent remote procedure call mechanism.

Documentation

Information on SOAP itself is found on www.w3.org.

Use the source - Luke, for information on the implementation.

Examples

Have a look at the example classes foudn in the "SOAP-ExampleClients" category . These examples implement various clients towards existing SOAP-based web services, among them are a translation service (BabelFish), spelling corrector (Google), a Stock-Quote requestor, and a currency exchange rate converter.

The HelloWorldServer class implements both a server and a client API, and is probably the easiest possible demo.
