Soap Plugin

SOAP ( Simple Object Access Protocol) is a message protocol that allows distributed elements of an application to communicate. SOAP can be carried over a variety of lower-level protocols, including the web-related Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). SOAP defines a header structure that identifies the actions that various SOAP nodes are expected to take on the message, in addition to a payload structure for carrying information.

SOAP web services use XML for data exchange between the client application and a web service. A SOAP request consists of the root Envelope element that has two child elements – Header and Body. Header is an optional element that can contain some extra information to be passed to the web service. Body is a required element and contains data specific to the called web service method.
