Hi Priya,

SOAP Action is some sort of an identifier of a function that you want to call from a particular web service. This is because a single web service can have multiple functions (just the way a class can have multiple methods). So while calling that web service, in addition to specifying the URL for a call (to identify the WS itself), you also need to specify the operation that you want to execute, namely - the SOAP Action.

Hope this helps,

Grzegorz
