SOAP for CICS project

This topic describes scenarios typical for the SOAP for CICS® project.

The SOAP for CICS feature enables existing or new CICS applications, written in any supported programming language, to communicate outside of the CICS environment using the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). The feature supports request and response SOAP requests. A user-written (or generated by Enterprise Services Tools) program known as a message adapter provides a mapping between XML and the CICS communication area (COMMAREA) used by an application program.

Note: The SOAP for CICS feature is available only with CICS TS V2.2 and 2.3. For later versions of CICS it is recommended that you use Web services for CICS support provided in these later versions.
