1、SOAP 协议简介
简单对象访问协议,简单对象访问协议(SOAP)是一种轻量的、简单的、基于 XML 的协议,它被设计成在 WEB 上交换结构化的和固化的信息。 SOAP 可以和现存的许多因特网协议和格式结合使用,包括超文本传输协议( HTTP),简单邮件传输协议(SMTP),多用途网际邮件扩充协议(MIME)。它还支持从消息系统到远程过程调用(RPC)等大量的应用程序。
2、SOAP 协议结构
SOAP 消息格式:
SOAP 标头
<SOAP-ENV: Envelope
Attributes>
<SOAP-ENV:Body
Attributes>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>目前主要在web服务中运用。
SOAPAction WEB编码中常见,协议开始起始意思,常见于编码启始句。
3、SOAP 消息的基本结构
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<soap:Envelope
xmlns:soap="http://www./2001/12/soap-envelope"
soap:encodingStyle="http://www./2001/12/soap-encoding">
<soap:Header>
...
...
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
...
...
<soap:Fault>
...
...
</soap:Fault>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
4、SOAP是webservice传递数据的协议,而ksoap、axis就是实现这个协议的工具,将java对象序列化,然后按SOAP协议封装成相应的请求消息,然后将消息捆绑在HTTP协议上发出去,再从服务端取回数据,反序列化解析soap报文,还原成java对象,供客户端使用。
5、SOAP的对象传输,可以不使用类的序列化,和反序列化,可以直接使用ksoap2的SoapObject.java
