Apache SOAP is an open-source implementation of the SOAP v1.1 and SOAP Messages with Attachments specifications in Java. Apache SOAP is developed by the Apache SOAP community. Apache SOAP can be used as a client library to invoke SOAP services available elsewhere or as a server-side tool to implement SOAP accessible services. As a client library it provides an API for invoking SOAP RPC services as well as an API for sending and receiving SOAP messages. As a mechanism to write new RPC accessible services or message accessible services, it expects to be hosted by a servlet container (such as Apache Tomcat, for example). While the codebase can be extended to support non-HTTP transports, the provided code only has limited support for non-HTTP transports (specifically, only for SMTP).
