In IDL:

struct EchoData {

boolean aBool;
string aString;
};

Или пък (инициализация и извикване на един метод):

This is an example SOAP invocation in java (using the Apache SOAP library):

URL url = new URL("http://localhost:8080/apache-soap/servlet/rpcrouter");
Call call = new Call();
call.setTargetObjectURI("urn:Hello");
call.setMethodName("sayHelloTo");
call.setEncodingStyleURI(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC);
Vector params = new Vector();
params.addElement(new Parameter("name", String.class, "Mark", null));
call.setParams(params);
Response resp = null;
try {
resp = call.invoke(url, "");
if ( !resp.generatedFault() ) {
Parameter ret = resp.getReturnValue();
Object value = ret.getValue();
System.out.println(value);
}
else {
Fault fault = resp.getFault();
System.err.println("Generated fault!");
}
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Compare this to a CORBA invocation in Java:

try {
org.omg.CORBA.ORB orb = org.omg.CORBA.ORB.init(args,null);
org.omg.CORBA.Object rootObj = orb.resolve_initial_references("NameService");
NamingContextExt root = NamingContextExtHelper.narrow(rootObj);
org.omg.CORBA.Object object = root.resolve(root.to_name("AcmeMyService"));
MyService myService = MyServiceHelper.narrow(object);

int ret = myService.sayHelloTo("Mark");

} catch (MyServiceException e) {
System.err.println("Generated fault!");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
