The SOAP Toolkit for Windows Embedded CE consists of the following:
A client-side component that allows an application to invoke Web service operations described by a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) document.
A server-side component that maps invoked Web service operations to COM object method calls as described by the WSDL and Web Services Meta Language (WSML) files. This file is necessary for the Microsoft implementation of SOAP.
Necessary components that construct, transmit, read, and process SOAP messages. These processes are referred to as marshaling and unmarshaling.
Note
This toolkit assumes that you are familiar with the SOAP 1.1 Technical Recommendation, the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) 1.1 specification, and XML. More information on these topics can be found at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web site.
