I know this might be a very basic question but I read so many articles on SOAP and I need to make sure I got it right.
In brief, I use SOAP because it's build on XML and thus I can have a standarized way to enable compatible communications between incompatible systems (in terms of OSs, architectures, programming languages, APIs, ...).
But still SOAP is statelss. And so to make it stateful, SOAP needs to be used along with WSRF (Web Service Resource Framework).
Qustion: Is my basic understanding right? Kindly correct me or illustrate more.
