HI,

The HTTP Adapter is a service which is directly connected to Integration engine. Adapter Framework (Java) isnt involved. It is much more performant than SOAP adapter.

The SOAP adapter is written in Java and is responsible for the SOAP envelope around the real XML message. You can build/remove that envelope as well in the mapping and use instead http adapter. But standard for webservices is using SOAP adapter.
