What Is SOAP Properties Model?

SOAP properties model defines a convention of how SOAP features and bindings can be described in terms of properties and property values. This convention is sufficient to describe the distributed states of feature and binding specifications mentioned in the SOAP 1.2 specifications:

• Request-Response Message Exchange Pattern
• Response Message Exchange Pattern
• SOAP Web Method Feature
• SOAP HTTP Binding

SOAP properties are abstractions that represent information used to exchange SOAP messages between SOAP nodes. SOAP properties are also called message metadata.

Properties are all named as URIs.
