What is SOAP?

SOAP stands for Simple Object Access Protocol
SOAP is a communication protocol
SOAP is for communication between applications
SOAP is a format for sending messages
SOAP is designed to communicate via Internet
SOAP is platform independent
SOAP is language independent
SOAP is based on XML
SOAP is simple and extensible
SOAP allows you to get around firewalls
SOAP will be developed as a W3C standard

Why SOAP?

It is important for application development to allow Internet communication between programs.

8XAf[B3P0Today's applications communicate using Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) between objects like DCOM and CORBA, but HTTP was not designed for this. RPC represents a compatibility and security problem; firewalls and proxy servers will normally block this kind of traffic.

osaA AWr:h0A better way to communicate between applications is over HTTP, because HTTP is supported by all Internet browsers and servers. SOAP was created to accomplish this.

SOAP provides a way to communicate between applications running on different operating systems, with different technologies and programming languages.

SOAP（Simple Object Access Protocol ）简单对象访问协议是在分散或分布式的环境中交换信息的简单的协议，是一个基于XML的协议，它包括四个部分：SOAP封装(envelop)，封装定义了一个描述消息中的内容是什么，是谁发送的，谁应当接受并处理它以及如何处理它们的框架；SOAP编码规则（encoding rules），用于表示应用程序需要使用的数据类型的实例; SOAP RPC表示(RPC representation)，表示远程过程调用和应答的协定;SOAP绑定（binding），使用底层协议交换信息。

　　虽然这四个部分都作为SOAP的一部分，作为一个整体定义的，但他们在功能上是相交的、彼此独立的。特别的，信封和编码规则是被定义在不同的XML命名空间(namespace)中，这样使得定义更加简单
