High-level vs low-level APIs in MS-Soap

[Naresh Agarwal]

Hi   I am developing a Client Server application using MS-Soap. I'm using Soap just for communication between Client and Server. i.e. i donot intend to deploy Soap service as a web-service.   Now in such a case, should i use low level APIs or high level APIs.   High level APIs uses WSDL file. So in this case, client would first download the WSDL, creates a Soap request and then send it to the server. Also WSDL file (in the form of DOM) would resides in client memery as long as client makes the request. However, if use low-level APIs, client directly forms Soap request using objects like Connector and Serializer.   So i think low-level APIs would perform better than high level APIs.   If anyone has a clue about it, please clarify   Thanks,   Regards, Naresh Agarwal
