Abstract
An apparatus and a method for transforming Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) messages is provided. The method comprises receiving and transmitting Extensible Markup Language (XML) format SOAP messages by using an application protocol and TCP/IP, a message comprising message elements and receiving and transmitting binary messages comprising binary message elements. A transformation is performed between an XML format message and a binary message by replacing (-) each message element of a given format with a message element in the other format. When transforming an XML message to binary format, the application protocol packet type and TCP/IP acknowledgement data are included () in the binary header. When transforming a binary format message to XML format, the application protocol packet type is selected on the basis of the information in the binary header of the binary format message.
