SOAP

Advantages:

  • Using SOAP over HTTP allows for easier communication through proxies and firewalls than previous remote execution technology.
  • SOAP is versatile enough to allow for the use of different transport protocols. The standard stacks use HTTP as a transport protocol, but other protocols are also usable (e.g. SMTP).
  • SOAP is platform independent.
  • SOAP is language independent.
  • SOAP is simple and extensible.
