I have to be honest. I absolutely despise SOAP 👎. I have had nothing but issues with it on every platform I have ever tried. I feel it is over designed and too complex. I think that is why it is slowly dying.
This book will not cover really anything about SOAP other than notes I have gather at clients sites. If you are being requested to use SOAP argue against it. It would be like reaching for COBOL.
Please refer to the section on the PeopleSoftServiceListeningConnector to see how to work with SOAP.
