REST Web服务是否具有代理？

Question

In SOAP, I see that there is a broker for orchestrating the connections between components. I want to know that is there a similar broker in REST?

Answer 1

There is no broker in SOAP, as long as somebody introduces one between the components (consumer, provider). SOAP is just a protocol. It can be used without a broker/ESB, for instance with direct http connections. The same applies for REST.
