Overview
allows you to build and use SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) Web Services.
In depth
Web Services are building blocks that enable developers to build and aggregate applications and services from local and remote resources for a range of clients.
Conceptually, developers integrate this business logic into their applications by calling "Web APIs" just as they call local services. The difference is that this call can be routed across the Internet to a service residing on a remote system.
Web Services call for systems that are loosely coupled, meaning you can change the implementation at either end of a connection and the application continues working. Technically, this translates to using message-based, asynchronous technology to achieve robustness, and using Web protocols such as HTTP, SMTP, and, most importantly, using Extensible Markup Language (XML) to achieve universal reach.
SOAP is the Simple Object Access Protocol, a way to create widely distributed, complex computing environments that run over the Internet using existing Internet infrastructure. SOAP is about applications communicating directly with each other over the Internet in a very rich way.
Included in this toolkit is the infrastructure necessary to expose SOAP Web Services on Windows operating systems and to consume them using Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0. The SOAP Toolkit automates all the key parts of creating a Web service.
