The major database companies (Oracle, IBM, Sybase, Microsoft) all provide tools to expose a store procedure as a Web service.
If you are using a different database, then I suggest you start with Apache Axis (http://ws.apache.org/axis -- the follow-on project to Apache SOAP). Deploy Axis in Tomcat. Write a class that uses JDBC to call the stored procedure. Deploy this class in Axis, and you're done.
