This graphic shows the path of a SOAP request and a SOAP response between
the SOAP Client and the SOAP Server.
The SOAP request is sent from the system running the SOAP Client, going out over the
Internet as a SOAP request. The SOAP server receives the request, possibly through a
firewall, and passes the service request to the SOAP Service. The SOAP Server then sends the
SOAP response over the Internet and back to the SOAP client.
