<Snip> SOAP isn't a messaging protocol. </Snip> From SOAP Version 1.2 Part 1: Messaging Framework: SOAP Version 1.2 (SOAP) is a lightweight protocol intended for exchanging structured information in a decentralized, distributed environment. It uses XML technologies to define an extensible messaging framework providing a message construct that can be exchanged over a variety of underlying protocols. The framework has been designed to be independent of any particular programming model and other implementation specific semantics.

Sent: 9/18/2002 11:12 AM Subject: RE: ( Slightly off topic ) JMS and other messaging >> CHIUSANO, Joseph: I consider SOAP to be an XML messaging protocol, so (at least for me) "messaging vs. SOAP" does not "make sense". >> SOAP isn't a messaging protocol. It can be used as an enveloping technology for a messaging protocol if there is a messaging protocol to begin with. For example ebXML has defined a (reliable) messaging protocol that utilizes SOAP. To offer an analogy, an envelope isn't a postal service. Saying "messaging vs SOAP" is close to saying "postal service vs envelope". Bill de hÓra -- Propylon www.propylon.com
