The S stands for Simple
There has been a long running debate in the Application Platform Services Group here at Burton Group between the REST people on one side and the SOAP people on the other. For the most part it mirrors the external debate. In one recent exchange, while discussing the complexity of SOAP and the web services framework, the SOAP side said, “Before all of the WS-* stuff, SOAP was actually simple. That’s what the ‘S’ stood for.”
And now a history lesson. It’s the year 2000, a harried developer has a problem
Developer: So, my boss was playing golf this weekend, and now I have to ‘quote, unquote’ SOAP-enable the enterprise, but I don’t know what SOAP is. Can you help, SOAP Guy?
SOAP Guy: Sure thing. First, SOAP stands for Simple Object Access Protocol.
