Explain about the Opaque SOAP

Some implementations of SOAP do not focus on the XML structure, but allow users to make SOAP requests transparently from the language of their choice.

In other words, rather than explicitly constructing the XML as we have examined here, they allow the programmer to simply call:

calendar_widget.addListing(when, where)

This call gets automatically translated to a SOAP request to a remote object. Note that such implementations often use the SOAP encoding behind the scenes, so they might be unsuitable if you need to interoperate with a system that uses a different encoding. Apache SOAP and Python's soaplib are examples of this approach.
