The PING Talk protocol is used for request-response communication between the PING client and server. The protocol is defined in XML and transformed to Java. The functionality of the protocol is closely related to the configuration of responders on the server.

What Talk basically provide is wrapping of record content to be added or read, and transform this into a format, here XML, usable for transmission. The client sends a request to the server which answers with the corresponding response. The valid request types are defined in the PINGTalk protocol. This section will explain the different requests and corresponding responses and how the request and responses are handled in the client and server.

Classdiagrams of the protocol can be found here.
