-SOAP Support
-------------

-From the point of view of a Twisted developer, there is little difference

-Serving SOAP and XML-RPC simultaneously
----------------------------------------
-
-
-
-:py:class:`twisted.web.xmlrpc.XMLRPC` and :py:class:`twisted.web.soap.SOAPPublisher` are both :py:class:`Resource <twisted.web.resource.Resource>` s.  So, to serve both XML-RPC and
-SOAP in the one web server, you can use the :py:meth:`putChild <twisted.web.resource.IResource.putChild>` method of Resource.
-

-
-
-The following example uses an empty :py:class:`resource.Resource <twisted.web.resource.Resource>` as the root resource for
-a :py:class:`Site <twisted.web.server.Site>` , and then
-adds ``/RPC2`` and ``/SOAP`` paths to it.
