Hi,

In short, you can say that a SOAP adapter is used in order to post messages to a webservice or provide a web service for receiving messages.

Hi,

To put it into a nut shell, SOAP is a adapter where all the messages would be sent either as a body or as an attachment to the webservice.

The response might also be sent in the same way.

If xi sends request to webservice, XI is called consumer and Webservice is the provider.

The vice versa might also happen

SOAP adapter is used to communicate to a webservice.

For eg, you can send a city code from a http client thru XI to a Webserrvice providing weather info for the city and get back the info to the httml client.

This is one simple example
