The purpose of the information contained on this page is to document the evidence of interoperable implementations required to advance the SOAP 1.2 specification along the W3C's Recommendation track. The information should not be used to evaluate the implementations outside this context. See the status section of the specification, e.g. http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-soap12-part0-20020626/ for details of the interoperability requirements. The information contained on this page is neither suitable nor intended for evaluating the degree to which any of the implementations may or may not conform to the SOAP 1.2 specification.
Page contents:
| Company/Organisation | Reporting | Implementation Name | Implementation Version | Spec Version/Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apache | Glen Daniels | Axis | Beta 1 and after | Limited support for June SOAP 1.2 spec in Beta 1, and for the December SOAP 1.2 spec in the current CVS implementation. Don't yet fully support new encoding or all faults, but we plan to be fully compliant soon, tracking the spec into future releases. |
| BEA | David Orchard | WebLogic Server | 7.0 and later | BEA provides a soap 1.2 endpoint at http://webservice.bea.com:9001/index.html. Endpoint contact is Manoj Cheenath. |
| Microsoft | Henrik Frystyk Nielsen | In order to help meeting the W3C implementation requirements, Microsoft will provide a public endpoint that can accept incoming SOAP 1.2 messages and be able to generate SOAP 1.2 messages and send them to other SOAP 1.2 endpoints. Endpoint is at http://mssoapinterop.org/asmx/ (Contacts: Alex DeJarnatt <[email protected]> and John Koropchak <[email protected]>). | ||
| SOAPLite | Paul Kulchenko | SOAP::Lite | 0.55 and later | Limited support for SOAP 1.2. Plan to support most of the spec before March 2003. |
| Systinet | Jacek Kopecky | WASP Server for Java | 4.0 | WASP 4.5 supports most features of the June 2002 Last Call draft of SOAP 1.2. Endpoint is available, see http://soap.systinet.net/interop/ for more information. |
| TIBCO | Don Mullen | Web Services SDK | 2.0 | TIBCO's SOAP 1.2 endpoint is available at http://webservice.tibco.com/interop |
| White Mesa | Bob Cunnings | White Mesa Server | 3.0 | Endpoint supports SOAP 1.2, see http://www.whitemesa.net/ for details. |
Table 2 lists the features, evidence of feature implementations, and test(s) associated with each feature. There is no association between the numbers used in identifying the implementation columns and the implementations listed in Table 1.
