Terms you'll need to understand:
SOAP request
SOAP response
Serialization
Deserialization
SOAP extension
Asynchronous call
XML wire format
Techniques you'll need to master:
Creating a SOAP extension
Calling Web methods of the Web service asynchronously
Customizing the XML wire format of the SOAP messages
In this chapter, you'll learn about three advanced Web service techniques:
SOAP extensions Enable you to modify the SOAP messages between client and server by inserting your own custom code in the message-creation process
Asynchronous calls Act as a client-side technique for making more efficient use of Web services
Custom wire formatting Enables you to dictate the formatting of the SOAP messages a Web service uses (the messages that are sent "over the wire")
