Overview of the SOAP Sample Application

SOAP is a standard XML-based protocol for invoking SOAP based Web services. The application implementation is a simple usage of the IBM® Extension to the Dojo toolkit for working with SOAP services. The simplicity of the application makes it easy to understand how to use the extension while still performing an interesting operation. The sample makes a SOAP call to United States' National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather service to map a United States ZIP code to its corresponding latitude and longitude.
