Web Protocols White Papers
Using Microsoft's SOAP Toolkit for Remote Object Access
Overview
Web Services and XML Messaging are gaining ever more attention and at the core of this movement is the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), which promises to bring a standard interface to calling server side code. In this article Rick discusses what SOAP is how it works and how to use Microsoft's SOAP Development Kit to call COM components and script code over the Web.
SOAP's mission in life is to provide a standard, XML based interface to making remote procedure calls. Distributed application development has really taken off over the last year or so, and XML has been at the center of making it possible to efficiently share data and content between client and server applications. I've written a number of papers (see resources at the end of the article) on the basic concepts of XML messaging in custom application environments. In these scenarios the XML is based on custom XML structures that map application specific functionality. Typically the data maps to table based data or to business objects with the XML providing the message format to share the data over the wire.
