What is the reason for me to use SOAP?
Hi,
I'm working on a solution with Resin 1.2b2 where I have JSP pages that
produce XML that I then transform to HTML (but maybe WAP and other formats
in the future).
My question is, without fully grasping SOAP yet, does it fit in my design
somewhere? Is there a benefit to using SOAP to create web pages? Can it be
done?
I'm sorry if this is a FAQ, only, I can't find a FAQ.
Thanks,
Olof Edlund

If everyone can use it, then how can I use SOAP from a Perl program?

Because it's not just data that you're moving! XML Data is state. XML Data
that are call invocations (like in Soap) is behavior.
With SOAP, you are invoking methods across the web (through http which means
everyone can use it) as if it's inside your own memory space. Very cool!

Hello there:
I also have a question in the same line. Another team member suggested, 'why
not just move the xml data from point A to point B with a simple POST (or
use
a PHP fopen to get the data from the customer's site), instead of having to
go through SOAP, wouldn't the same result be achieved'. Since I am just
getting started with SOAP, and trying to get it set up, I wonder if somebody
could explain why SOAP is needed. Again sorry if this is a FAQ...
