Analysis and Implementation of Web Collaborative Environment Based on SOAP

XML(eXtensible Markup Language)has been recognized as a standard for data exchange over the Internet. The SOAP(simple object access protocol) is a platform-independent protocol for the exchange of information in the distributed and heterogeneous environment. In this paper, a cross-platform web collaborative environment is constructed to deal with the problems of collaborative work among inhomogeneous platforms. And the collaborative workflows of processes are explained in detail simultaneously. Finally, the implementation of this collaborative environment is also illuminated based on Java language, SOAP, basic transmission protocol (HTTP) and component technology.
