Making SOAP with SOUP

In this paper, we explore existing remote procedure call mechanisms and present an alternative more suited to internet transactions. This mechanism, Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), uses XML for data and type encoding and is transferred over protocols such as HTTP and SMTP. An implementation of SOAP written in C, named Soup, will be discussed in detail.

Soup is designed to be fully asyncronous, and provides skeleton code generation for use with SOAP clients and servers. WSDL, a SOAP interface description language is covered as well as future SOAP developments such as object discovery and integration between existing RPC mechanisms.
