[Former Member]

What is the main difference between WS Adapter and SOAP adapter.

I am confused when to use WS adapter and SOAP adapter.

Can anyone give me answer with an example.

Hi,

WS adapter can be used for so called direct connections

(WS - WS not using XI/PI but configured in XI/PI)

SOAP - for other soap calls

Kumar,

Please go through the below URLs for a discussion of SOAP and WS adapters:

Also i found that :

SOAP adapter uses XI integration engine for sending and receiving data. However the WS adapter provides the direct communication using WS runtime. The advantage of using direct communication is that it improves the performance of message transfer. PI is still involved as it provides the monitoring capabilities which is very important for point-to-point communication.
