The SOAP adapter enables you to exchange SOAP messages between remote clients or Web service servers and the Integration Server or the PCK.

The Plain http adapter is a part of ntegration Engine. It uses native http format i.e no SOAP Envelops.

Hi

When you are using Webservices then you need to use SOAP Adapter

The SOAP adapter enables you to exchange SOAP messages between remote clients or Web service servers and the Integration Server or the PCK.

In the SOAP adapter, you can specify security settings to be used to sign/verify the SOAP body. In addition, you can specify the standard to be used for signing/verifying the SOAP message

see below link to get more details

The plain HTTP adapter gives application systems the option of communicating with the Integration Engine and exchanging business data using a plain HTTP connection. Depending on the receiver system, outbound messages can be enhanced with certain information.

Whn you want to intregrate XI with a Webservice, you use SOAP adapters.

Sender SOAP adapters allow you to expose your outbound message interface as a webservice so that anyone with the right credentials can access / trigger data to

XI.

Receiver SOAP adapters are used to call a webservice from XI.

Receiver HTTP adapters are used to post a HTTP request message from XI to a HTTP service.
