What is a Web Service? Web services are a new breed of Web application. They are self- contained, self-describing, modular applications that can be published, located, and invoked across the Web. Web services perform functions, which can be anything from simple requests to complicated business processes...Once a Web service is deployed, other applications (and other Web services) can discover and invoke the deployed service.

What is SOAP? Simple Object Access Protocol SOAP is a lightweight protocol for exchange of information in a decentralized, distributed environment. It is an XML based protocol that consists of three parts: an envelope that defines a framework for describing what is in a message and how to process it, a set of encoding rules for expressing instances of application-defined datatypes, and a convention for representing remote procedure calls and responses. SOAP can potentially be used in combination with a variety of other protocols; however, the only bindings defined in this document describe how to use SOAP in combination with HTTP and HTTP Extension Framework.

What is SOAP 1.2? Simple Object Access Protocol SOAP version 1.2 is a lightweight protocol for exchange of information in a decentralized, distributed environment. It is an XML based protocol that consists of four parts: an envelope that defines a framework for describing what is in a message and how to process it, a transport binding framework for exchanging messages using an underlying protocol, a set of encoding rules for expressing instances of application-defined data types and a convention for representing remote procedure calls and responses. Part 1 (this document) describes the SOAP envelope and SOAP transport binding framework; Part 2[1]describes the SOAP encoding rules, the SOAP RPC convention and a concrete HTTP binding specification.[1] [ http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part1/ (1.2 Working Draft)]http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part1/
