If you want your server to expose a SOAP endpoint you will need a
plugin, otherwise you could always have a custom Jabber client and have
JIDs like [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
It makes more sense to make the server JID (e.g. bank.com) the SOAP
endpoint, but that isn't always possible: as it seems to be in your case.
Furthermore, I would recommend you alter your SOAP framework somehow,
because SOAP is stateless where XMPP is stateful, you can leverage this
to your advantage (in my honest opinion, XMPP is better suited to Remote
API than HTTP). E.g. most SOAP endpoints require a login of some form,
you can have the user log in once using a Login method instead of
sending credentials/tokens each time another method is called.
Good luck!

Hi everyone,
I am a new to Jabber development, and am trying to carry SOAP messages
over XMPP. I noticed the SOAP extension to XMPP on the XMPP web site.
My questions is do Jabber servers require additional
plugins/implementations to carry SOAP messages across or can any
standard Jabber server be able to carry the message?
Thanks.
