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

more info ..

we use SOAP adapter when we need to connect to remote system or use Webservices in these cases we use SOAP adapter.

HTTP Adapter is used by extenal systems to connect to Intergartin server using native HTTP Interface.

the http adapter is a service which is directly connected to integration engine. Adapter Framework (Java) isnt involved. It is much more performant than SOAP adapter.

The SOAP adapter is written in Java and is responsible for the SOAP envelope around the real XML message. You can build/remove that envelope as well in the mapping and use instead http adapter. But standard for webservices is using SOAP adapter.
