Security is the major concern that refrains people from conducting commerce electronically. The security concerns related to electronic commerce (EC) includes transaction security and system security. We can partially address the transaction security issues by message distribution middleware such as simple object access protocol (SOAP), which is one of the information technology (IT) infrastruc...

SOAP is now widely accepted as the core transport protocol for Web Services but there are still open questions about whether SOAP can really meet the performance needs of business. This paper attempts to address some of these questions by evaluating and comparing the performance of several contemporary commercial SOAP implementations. The reported tests send a variety of SOAP messages to Web Se...

OBJECTIVES On December 2013, the US FDA proposed a rule stating that manufacturers must provide data to demonstrate that antibacterial soap is more effective than plain soap or water. The objective of the present study was to examine the in vitro and in vivo bactericidal effect of triclosan (the most widely used antiseptic agent in soap) in soap. METHODS Twenty bacterial strains (proposed by ...

Recent distributed computing applications are developed using different platforms working on different Operating Systems and these applications are running on heterogeneous hardware. SOAP protocol is mainly used for communicating among heterogeneous processes developed in platforms like .Net, Java, Android and so on. SOAP messages are basically XML documents and thus because of use of XML messa...

BACKGROUND In January 1993, Nyamithuthu Camp in Malawi housed 64000 Mozambican refugees. Communicable diseases, primarily diarrhoea, pneumonia, malaria and measles, contribute to substantially higher mortality rates in refugee populations compared to similar non-displaced populations. METHOD A systematic sample of 402 households in one portion of the camp were surveyed for diarrhoeal risk fac...

The Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is an emerging technology in the field of web services. Web services demand high performance, security and extensibility. SOAP, being based on Extensible Markup Language (XML), inherits not only the advantages of XML, but its relatively poor performance. This makes SOAP a poor choice for many high-performance web services. In this paper, we analyze the c...

One-quarter of neonatal deaths are attributed to infections. Maternal handwashing with soap may prevent neonatal sepsis. We examined impact of intensive handwashing promotion on handwashing behavior of mothers of neonates. In Matlab, Bangladesh, we randomly allocated pregnant women at 28-32 weeks' gestation to intensive handwashing promotion or control. Behavior change communicators used a part...

The scope of this research aims to give an overview of the SOAP protocol, such as its origins, the protocol structure and the way data is passed between SOAP nodes. However, this paper would also briefly touch on the XML-RPC protocol so that it may be compared with SOAP side-by-side. Another major focus of this research is the methods of transferring binary files using SOAP. Because SOAP is bas...
