well, the way it SEEMS to work is that the notion of web services
enables machine-to-machine information interchange. Platform
independent, etc.
However, this one is buried behind a firewall, so it requires a
client that can negotiate the firewall. They whipped up such a client
in .NET. There may be a java client, though I've not seen it yet. To
my way of thinking, it defeats all that standards platform
independent formatting stuff as you have to have their client to hit
their service. Why bother with SOAP? Seems like a waste of effort.
They'd sent me a copy of the current .wsdl file, but it references
other docs that are behind the firewall, so it was useless.

They say that they also intentionally change it to break clients
that aren't qualified. Therefore, just creating a query xml file
from something like soapclient.com will have a very short life
span.
Going to try a java client next.
Boy, these guys are easy to deal
