----------------------------------------------------------- From: shahkalpesh Message 2 in Discussion XMLHTTP - could be the way of exchanging xml documents, end result maybe, in form of DOM SOAP - looks more like a "method on the internet", in which 1) somebody publishes the interface, defines method contracts, parameters 2) listener, validates message type (method exists or not), parameter checking (coverting) 3) forwarding the request to the appropriate handler (COM/.Net type), for instance creation & invoking the method 4) if Ok, return the output (which is not XML, but a primitive/user defined type) As the doc says, parameters of complex types can also be sent + attachments with the soap message So, it looks like, XMLHTTP is the way of simply exchanging xml data over the wire, interpretation of data is left to the user & SOAP, is well-defined contract (wsdl) or a service provided on the internet for ppl to query My interpretation though Kalpesh ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/bdotnet/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
