RE: XML Documents

Justin,

SOAP is Simple Object Access Protocol, it defines how you send/receive
application to application requests over the net. Check out
http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ for more information on SOAP.

I looked at the UPS info on their shipping tools, and while they are XML
based, they don't appear to be SOAP based so you can disregard my question
about SOAP.

Walden,
    I'm not sure what you mean by "SOAP" and yes it is a UPS Service. I have
a big UPS manual on how to get this thing to work. It looks like to me that
I have to build a "request" XML document(includes information on package
weight, zip code, adress, etc..), send it to the UPS Server using a post
method, and the server will build a "response" XML document and send it back
to me. I am new to XML and I really do not understand what or how I am going
to do this. If you think I need to use this "SOAP" thing, let me know. I did
however download the XML for RPG API's from alphaworks.ibm.com, but there
examples are to vague. I would appreciate any help!!!
