Hi,

for the first, let's begin with black and white. From there one can
say SOAP is a protocol. It say how messages are formed, which data included
in messages, which type of messages exist. CORBA is the next layer. It also
specifies
a protocol (i.e. IIOP), but it say much more, the application the protocol
is for: to
find and activate messages of objects. So CORBA could use SOAP as its
underlying
protocol. On the other side, SOAP opera implements a "object finder", that
means
a Obecjt Request Broker using basic SOAP as protocol. Here the gray
begins....

Greetings
