The wsSOAPServer receives a SOAP message and endpoint and action URIs. Using the supplied config SOAPServiceMap it locates the port corresponding with the received endpoint and action URIs. The port specifies an internal URI to which the SOAPserver issues the request. The incoming arguments (message, endpoint and action) are passed as arguments with the internal request.

wsSOAPServer does not interrogate SOAP headers. It is the responsibility of the application-level internal service to comply with any SOAP header processing directives (such as mustUnderstand etc).

wsSOAPServer supports both SOAP1.1 and SOAP1.2 document-based Web-Services.

The wsSOAPServer accessor implements the mapper pattern.
