Study Notes
- SOAP is a protocol for exchanging structured information in web services, allowing applications to communicate over the internet.
- Based on XML, SOAP messages are formatted using XML and typically sent over HTTP.
- SOAP forms the foundation layer of web services and provides a standardized communication protocol for seamless interaction between different systems.
- SOAP was co-authored by representatives from IBM, Lotus, Microsoft, DevelopMentor, and UserLand, and later submitted to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for development.
- SOAP provides extensibility, allowing for the definition of additional attributes, elements, and protocols.
- SOAP supports advanced error handling and ensures reliable message delivery across various networks.
- SOAP implements the response/request model of HTTP, with a client sending a SOAP message to a server, which processes the request and responds with a SOAP message.
- SOAP architecture adheres to a service provider-service requester model.
- SOAP messages consist of an envelope, header, and body.
- Envelope encloses the entire SOAP message and defines the XML structure.
