SOAP
SOAP is a lightweight XML-based communications protocol designed for the exchange of information in a platform-independent, distributed environment.
Jadu XForms Professional leverages the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) capabilities of SOAP to provide an interface from within your own code to Jadu, as though you were making a call to a local method or function.
SOAP Services are defined using the WSDL (Web Services Definition Language) and are accessible via a URL, known as a SOAP Endpoint. The WSDL itself should describe to integrators those interactions that are enabled as standard and where necessary, parameters and return values, in order to provide a Web Service API.
An example where this might be used is to set the current status of a customer's form, therefore changing the status display on their account homepage of the Jadu powered website.
