difference between the soap and http

[#1]

Hello,

SOAP and HTTP both are used for wsdl. Can you give any special cases going for SOAP instead of HTTP.

Thank you

hi ,

SOAP stands for simple object access protocol.

SOAP is encoded in XML and it says

1) about the service

2)location of service i.e at which system and at which port.

3)what parameters need to be passed to the service

HTTP is hyper text transfer protocol which is used to for data communication between systems by simple text.'

it has no information about services or methods.

SOAP is used for calling remote services and HTTP is used for passing the data over wire.
