Web services security specifications are typically expressed as a mixture of XML schemas, example messages, and narrative explanations. We propose a new specification language for writing complementary machine-checkable descriptions of SOAP-based security protocols and their properties. Our TulaFale language is based on the pi calculus (for writing collections of SOAP processors running in para...

Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is a specification that enables applications to communicate with other applications [2]. Two major design goals for SOAP are simplicity and extensibility. SOAP attempts to meet these goals by omitting, from the messaging framework, features that are often found in distributed systems. In addition to this, SOAP is a lightweight protocol for exchange of inform...

We have developed Open DMIX, which is an open source collection of web services for accessing, exploring, integrating, and mining remote and distributed data. Open DMIX clients interact with Open DMIX servers using a version of web services designed for high performance applications, which we call SOAP+. In this paper we describe experimental studies comparing SOAP and SOAP+ based data mining a...

During the last years JavaScript Object Notation Remote Procedure Call (JSON-RPC) emerged as the de facto standard for service calling on mobile devices. Unfortunately many enterprise services are still only available as traditional Web Service accessible via Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). In this paper we introduce the Web Service to JSON-RPC...

This document describes how the authors developed a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)-based NETCONF (Network Configuration Protocol) client and server. It describes an alternative SOAP binding for NETCONF that does not interoperate with an RFC 4743 conformant implementation making use of cookies on top of the persistent transport connections of HTTP. When SOAP is used as a transport protocol...

Lightweight proto ols for remote servi e invo ation via HTTP and XML, su h as SOAP, are rapidly gaining a eptan e among developers of Internet-based e-servi es, espeially be ause of their rewall-traversal apabilities. However, no standard te hnique for a ess ontrol se urity is urrently de ned for either HTTP or SOAP itself. Conerns have been raised about the possibility that di erent SOAP appli...
