Oracle9i Application Server Oracle9iAS SOAP Developer's Guide Release 1 (v1.0.2.2) Part Number A90297-01 |
|
The Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), is a lightweight, XML-based protocol for exchanging information in a decentralized, distributed environment. This guide describes Oracle SOAP. Oracle SOAP is an implementation of the Simple Object Access Protocol that is based on the Apache SOAP open source implementation.
This preface contains the following topics:
The Oracle9i Application Server Oracle9iAS SOAP Developer's Guide is intended for application programmers, system administrators, and other users who perform the following tasks:
To use this document, you need a working knowledge of Java programming language fundamentals.
This document contains:
This chapter introduces the basic concepts for the Simple Object Access Protocol and provides a description of the SOAP architecture.
This chapter provides an introduction to the procedures you use to write a SOAP Java service, to deploy the service, and to write a SOAP Java client that uses the service. The code examples in this chapter use the simple clock sample supplied with the Oracle SOAP installation.
This chapter describes the procedures you use to write a SOAP Java service, to deploy the service, and to write a SOAP Java client for a service that uses arrays and other nonscalar types for parameters or return values. In addition, this chapter provides information on SOAP encodings.
This chapter describes the Oracle SOAP Audit Logging feature that monitors and records SOAP usage. Audit logging maintains records for postmortem analysis, accountability, and security. SOAP audit logging complements the audit logging capabilities available with the transport-specific server, the Apache HTTP Listener, that hosts the SOAP Request Handler Servlet (SOAP server).
The chapter describes Oracle SOAP handlers for the SOAP Request Handler Servlet. Handlers are configured in handler chains. Handlers are invoked to handle events associated with SOAP requests, responses, or errors.
This chapter describes the Oracle SOAP provider interface. The provider interface allows you to add your own service providers to Oracle SOAP.
This chapter describes advanced SOAP features, including the interfaces available for creating a Provider Manager and a Service Manager.
This chapter describes configuration and administration details for Oracle SOAP.
This appendix contains the Apache software license.

This section describes the conventions used in the text and code examples of this documentation set. It describes:
We use various conventions in text to help you more quickly identify special terms. The following table describes those conventions and provides examples of their use.
Code examples illustrate command-line statements. They are displayed in a monospace (fixed-width) font and are separated from normal text as shown in this example:
SELECT username FROM dba_users WHERE username = 'MIGRATE';
The following table describes typographic conventions used in code examples and provides examples of their use.
Oracle's goal is to make our products, services, and supporting documentation accessible to the disabled community with good usability. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers.
