Using the adapter
Use the SOAP (Legacy) Adapter to either invoke a Web service by sending a request message and processing the response, or in the implementation of a Web service.
Note that two adapters are used in communicating between the map and the Web service:
- The SOAP (Legacy) Adapter
- A transport adapter, such as an HTTP adapter
There are two primary usage scenarios for the SOAP (Legacy) Adapter:
- As a consumer of Web services
- As a provider of Web services
See HCL Link Introduction for more information about Web services.
