I have an app which successfully Marshalls an XML stream from an instantiated application data model (using Castor). That part was easy. Now I want to develop the
SOAP part (i.e. get the XML into a request/response interaction with the server). My problem is that I can't seem to find a tutorial about SOAP which doesn't obfuscate the subject with Web Services, WSDL, and XML descriptions and terminology. I mean, I've got the XML, now all I want to do is request response HTTP to the server. How can I learn how to SOAP to the server and bypass the Web Services mumbo jumbo.
