SOAP Messages

A SOAP message is an XML document transmitted from a sender to a receiver. It is basically a one way transmission between different nodes, but it could be combined by an application to implement more complex interaction patterns.

The following is an example of the basic structures in a SOAP message:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:env = "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"
    <env:Header>
    </env:Header>
    <env:Body>
        <env:Fault>
        </env:Fault>
    </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>
