Simple PeopleSoft No Code SOAP Web Service

What is a Web Service



Simply put a web service is  a method of communication between devices over the World Wide Web (WWW)

Characteristics:

Uses Request/Response messages over HTTP/S 

Hypertext Transfer Protocol

The foundation of data communication over WWW

Used to send and receive webpages and files on the internet.

Messages are text readable such as XML and JSON

XML - Extensible Markup Language (rules for encoding documents that are both human and machine readable)

JSON – JavaScript Object Notation (file format that uses human readable text) 

What is SOAP

Simple Object Access Protocol


Lightweight protocol for exchanging structured information


Use HTTP POST to send XML (Extended Markup Language)\


Provides both Asynchronous and Synchronous 


Asynchronous – Doesn’t wait for a response; it is NOT immediate; callbacks happen only when the requested resource is ready


Synchronous – Expects an immediate return of data; waits for a response
