In this article, we introduce a technology combining SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) with middle ware. Such technology is used to extend the scope of company's service to Internet. We design and implement such software, which can be used in OnLine Transaction Process and the Enterprise Application Integration area, called CorpConnector.CorpConnector is accomplished using JAVA. CorpConnector gets the requests from Internet users - which are XML messages on SOAP protocol - and transfers the format to an appropriate one. When the answer comes, CorpConnector transfers it back to the user-acquired format before it feeds it back. So we focus on the functions about translation of XML, connections between itself and server, transaction control module.At last, we discuss how to extent the function using SOAP Header, and the advantage of updating CorpConnector to absolute Web Services.
