SOAP (Web Services)
Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) Device Driver allows Iotellect Server to call Web Services. Web service objects sent to and received from a Web Service are converted from/to Iotellect's Data Tables. See Devices article for more information about the "normalized" representation of devices in Iotellect.

Device Assets
Assets are not supported by the driver.
Device Settings
No settings are provided by the driver.
Device Operations
The driver creates a device function per each SOAP operation (function) found in the specified WSDL file. Any Device function call is bridged to a SOAP function call. Iotellect Server uses a function input Data Table to construct SOAP objects that are served as input parameters. Resulting SOAP objects are converted to an output Data Table.
Device Events
No events provided by the driver.
Connection Handling
The driver doesn't perform any connection establishing/testing. Any SOAP device is always Online, despite individual SOAP calls may fail due to network problems.
Synchronization Details
This driver does nothing during periodic synchronization.
