rv20 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 As far as i can see it is similar to AJAX ? BUt it can communicate with web services, so i guess a web services is an exe?? Does anyone have an advanced soap example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoTheDev Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 No you are on the wrong track. SOAP is a protocol for exchanging data. SOAP can be used to call web services (i.e RPC - Remote Procedure Call) however this is only one of its many uses. A web service is not an exe at all. An example of a web service maybe a weather feed. I can send a request to the weather service server along with parameters for the required days, country, city, etc and a response is returned with data I require. Other popular web services are provided by Amazon, Google, Yahoo, etc Example of what a SOAP request and response may look like: http://www.w3schools.com/SOAP/soap_example.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
