.SS "web service"
.IX Subsection "web service"
Web services are \s-1RPC\s0 (Remote Procedure Call) interfaces accessible via
some internet protocol, typically via \s-1HTTP\s0(S).
.SS "\s-1SOAP\s0"
.IX Subsection "SOAP"
\&\s-1SOAP\s0 is (was \- since 1.2 the name \*(L"\s-1SOAP\*(R"\s0 has no meaning any more) an acronym
for Simple Object Access Protocol.
\&\s-1SOAP\s0 is a W3C recommendation. The latest version of the \s-1SOAP\s0 specification
may be found at <http://www.w3.org/TR/soap/>.
.PP
\&\s-1SOAP\s0 defines a protocol for message exchange between applications.
The most popular usage is to use \s-1SOAP\s0 for remote procedure calls (\s-1RPC\s0).
.PP
While one of the constituting aspects of a web service is its
reachability via some internet protocol, you might as well define
\&\s-1SOAP\s0 services accessible via postcards.
.PP
Despite it's former name, \s-1SOAP\s0 has nothing more to do with objects than
cars have with pets \- \s-1SOAP\s0 messages may, but not necessarily do
carry objects, very much like your car may, but does not need to
carry your pet.
.SS "\s-1WSDL\s0"
.IX Subsection "WSDL"
\&\s-1WSDL\s0 is an acronym for Web Services Description Language.
\&\s-1WSDL\s0 is a W3C recommendation. The latest version of the \s-1WSDL\s0 specification
may be found at <http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl20/>.
.PP
\&\s-1WSDL\s0 defines a XML-based language for describing web service interfaces,
including \s-1SOAP\s0 interfaces.
.SS "WS-I"
.IX Subsection "WS-I"
WS-I (Web Services Interoperability Organization) is an open industry
organisation chartered to promote Web service interoperability across
platforms, operating systems, and programming languages.
.PP
WS-I publishes profiles, which provide implementation guidelines for
how related Web services specifications should be used together for
best interoperability. To date, WS-I has finalized the Basic Profile,
Attachments Profile and Simple \s-1SOAP\s0 Binding Profile.
.PP
\&\s-1SOAP::WSDL\s0 aims at complying to the WS-I Basic Profile (but does not
implement full support yet).
.SS "\s-1SOAP\s0 message styles"
.IX Subsection "SOAP message styles"
\fIrpc\fR
.IX Subsection "rpc"
.PP
Meant for transporting a \s-1RPC\s0 message. All contents of the \s-1SOAP\s0 body are
put into a top-level node named equal to the \s-1SOAP\s0 operation.
.PP
WS-I Basic Profile allows the use of rpc message style.
.PP
\&\s-1SOAP::WSDL\s0 does not support rpc message style yet.
.PP
SOAP::Lite supports rpc message style only.
.PP
\fIdocument\fR
.IX Subsection "document"
.PP
Meant for transporting arbitrary content. No additional nodes are inserted
between the \s-1SOAP\s0 body and the actual content.
.PP
WS-I Basic Profile allows the use of document message style.
