Marco, I think you've misunderstood the relationship between my web service and my web application. I believe your assumption is that my web application is a CLIENT of my web service. This is incorrect.
Basically, my existing web application has an API of all my functionality, and I wish to publicize this API. This is why I'm investigating SOAP and XML-RPC. I'm wanting to add a web service interface to accomplish this. Once I've created this web service, I don't want to re-architect my web application to use this service itself, as it already uses the same API, which is much quicker then going through the web service. Does this make sense? I'm basically wanting to add a service to my application, not make my application use a service. I'm wanting to allow other clients to use my service. Thanks for trying though.
