SOAP 1.2 is a W3C Recommendation

[Alex Vincent]

I think it's an XML structure for sending objects (think object-oriented programming) from a client to a server, or vice versa. But I don't understand it at all. Can someone clue me in, please? :)

Hi Alex,

Well from what i gather its an XML based messaging and RPC spec. Basically allows an xml based message be sent over HTTP in a platform independant manner.

Try here for information.
