Introduction SOAP version 1.2 (SOAP) is a lightweight protocol intended for exchange of structured information between peers in a decentralized, distributed environment. It defines an extensible messaging framework that contains a message construct based on XML technologies that can be exchanged over a variety of underlying protocols. This specification defines the media type "application/soap+xml" which can be used to identify SOAP 1.2 message envelopes that have been serialized with XML 1.0. Such serializations are useful as the basis "wire formats" for SOAP 1.2 Protocol Binding Specifications [SOAP12P1], or in other situations where an XML serialization of a SOAP envelope is required. 2. Registration The registration form can be found in Appendix A of the "SOAP 1.2 Part 2: Adjuncts" [SOAP12P2] specification. 3. Authors' Addresses Mark A.
