Hi, I hope you can provide some ideas or direct me to some tutorials, examples, etc. to help explain how to create a simple web service that receives SOAP requests over SMTP to call a remote procedure. My problem is I have only 2 weeks to write and test this, so if possible, I hope somebody can direct me to what I need to get a simple example up and running - that's all I need for now.
Also, security is important to my school project - are the same SOAP and xml security features still applicable over SMTP?
I am new to web services, but recently produced a simple web service that takes a request from a mobile phone (actually a Bluetooth server), searches several other web services (supposed to be business inventories), and returns the result. Testing this I found keeping the connection open and allowing other users to connect to the mobile (via Bluetooth) seriously hits performance. That's not surprising, obviously, as mobiles are so constrained.
Anyway, I remembered that the phone can send e-mails via SMTP. I would like to try this route so the phone can take the request from bluetooth device and then get rid of that user, before using SMTP to pass it to the web service (axis I hope), which then sends an SMS directly to the user's phone.
Any relevent information would be truly appreciated - thanks a lot for your time.
Ryan.
