Correction .... for a broader def of the term. To quote from O'Reily "Programming Web Services with SOAP"....
page 1 *** Before we go any further, let's define the basic concept of a "web service". A web service is a network accessible interface to application functionality, built using standard Internet technologies. In other words, if an application can be accessed over a network using a combination of protocols like HTTP, XML, SMTP, or Jabber, then it is a web service. Despite all the media hype around web services, it is really that simple. Web services are nothing new. Rather, they represent the evolution of principles that have guided the Internet for years *** On Thu, 2003-01-23 at 18:13, Sunil Singh wrote: > Hi, > Is there any difference between a soap service and > web service .
