can you read SOAP services with the JS API?

[GabrielaLaird]

Does anybody know if I can read a SOAP end point of a feature service using the ArcGIS Server JavaScript API? Or does it only works with the service's REST end point?

The ArcGIS API for JavaScript is built to talk to REST endpoints from ArcGIS Server.

What do you want to do with SOAP?

You can try:

However, a more realistic approach is probably write a server piece that talks to SOAP end and then output result as JSON with callback.
