Introduction to the SoapDataProvider Module

The SoapDataProvider module provides a data provider API for SOAP messaging. The SoapDataProvider class allows for introspecting a SOAP schema, while the SoapRequestDataProvider class supports the data provider request-reply API for communication with SOAP servers.

SOAP schemas can be introspected with the following format:

• requests: operation/request
  • ex: getInfo/request
  • results in a SoapRequestDataProvider object where a request can be sent to the server
• responses: operation/response
  • ex: getInfo/response
  • results in a SoapResponseDataProvider object where the response definition can be introspected

The following classes are provided by this module:

• SoapDataProvider
• SoapDataProviderBase
• SoapDataProviderFactory
• SoapOperationDataProvider
• SoapRequestDataProvider
• SoapResponseDataProvider
