Hi,

I can explain some points.

The HTTP adapter is used by the external services to connect to the integration engine.

In an HTTP adapter you do not need a sender agreement.There are various tools like wfetch tools from which you can send the xml message you want to send to XI.You do not need a sender agreement nor do you need a communication channel on the sender side.

The soap adapter enables you to exchange messages between webservices and integration server.In a soap adapter you do need a sender agreement and sender communication channel.. We can use tools like Altova XML spy to send messages.

Thanks and Regards,
