RE: SOAP - was BOOKS for XML
In a nutshell, it's a way of envoking methods of remote objects. It's actually more like RPC's than DCOM... Here's what a SOAP reqeust looks like for a remote method HelloWorld(using ASP.NET Web Services) You can also Contact through HTTP GET and HTTP POST methods, however, using SOAP you won't need HTTP GET/POST: POST /costas/MyFirstProject/VoyagerAPI.asmx HTTP/1.1 Host: costas-test Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: length SOAPAction: "http://tempuri.org/HelloWorld"; http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";> http://tempuri.org/";> string Here's a response: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: length http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";> http://tempuri.org/";> string -Original Message- From: Baskin, Dave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2001 8:44 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: SOAP - was BOOKS for XML I've heard talk of SOAP around the office but haven't had time to look into what it is.

Thanks. d -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Since XML is a very broad topic, you might be more interested in a specific use of XML. There are plenty of books covering these more specific topics, such as SOAP. ~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists

To be a bit nit-picky here, SOAP doesn't require the use of HTTP; SOAP data can be sent over any application protocol you like (HTTP, SMTP, FTP, or whatever). "Web Services" is pretty synonymous with SOAP over HTTP, though, and most SOAP usage is done over HTTP.

Re: SOAP - was BOOKS for XML
In a sense, what DCOM was supposed to be. You call remote URL's, invoking methods and properties, and get something back. Everything is sent over HTTP; the data going back and forth is XML. For the most part, SOAP and web services are pretty synonymous. Pretty cool; hopefully it's past the infancy (buzzword) stage. If you wanna down and dirty with the spec: http://www.w3.org/2000/xp/ Wrox's Pro CF5 has a section on CF and SOAP. - Original Message - From: "Baskin, Dave" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2001 10:44 AM Subject: SOAP - was BOOKS for XML > I've heard talk of SOAP around the office but haven't had time to look into > what it is.
