SOAP and HTTP

1.What is the difference between soap and http adapter?

2.To integrate which system we go with SOAP adapter and to integrate which system we go with HTTP adapter?

Hi,

http is native adapter for any http communication and SOAP adapter used http as its protocol to interact with application which can understand SOAP format (webservices).

Use of HTTP: communication between website and XI, for example you are sending information from webpage forms via post method.

Use of SOAP: With many sophisticated web application and services and even between two XI system.

Refer to following link to understand SOAP adapter: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/69/a6fb3fea9df028e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm

and refer to understand more about SOAP: http://www.w3schools.com/soap/default.asp

When any Application requires Post we can go ahead for HTTP Adapter.
