SOAP or HTTP adapter?

[Former Member]

Hi again guys,

I would like to know what are the advantages and disadvantages between HTTP and SOAP adapter. I don’t know which are better to communicate with Portal Websphere!!!

Please anyone can provide me some clues on it.

Cheers,

Ricardo.

Thanks for all

But anyone can provide me a document or a weblog with some articles like HTTP versus SOAP communications. I need a comparative between these two adapters.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Hi Ricardo,

the SOAP adapter is a java application which is making only a envelope of some XML tags, you can easily create them for yourself with a mapping.

The HTTP is (native) adapter of the (ABAP) WAS, it is much more performant and more stabil.

Ricardo,

the advantage of the SOAP adapter is actually that you use WebServices this way. This has the consequence that you are more flexibel in terms of operation you call at the portal side.

Since WebServices are quite wide-spreat I assume that SOAP is often the only choice.
