SOAP and XML-RPC are two different "animals" with XML-RPC sharing the same goal as SOAP-RPC. Yes, SOAP-RPC is only a subset of SOAP, though a fairly large one. Do a search on Google to get more details. /Pankaj.
-----Original Message----- From: Monika Solanki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 3:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: XML-RPC and SOAP HI all, I have a trivial question for the community (I am fairly new to the area of web services). I have read in one of the FAQs about web services, that the two protocols currently used for XML messaging are 1. XML- RPC. 2. SOAP I am confused here. Are they two entirely separate things or is XML-RPC, embedding RPC calls in a soap envelope. My understanding of the subject is messages are primarily packaged in a soap envelope either in a document style or procedural style. Pls help me understand the concepts better. Thanks.... Monika
