| Web services are self-describing business functions that are accessible from any Web-connected device using a set of messaging protocols, programming standards, and network registration and discovery facilities.
A Web service is a discrete business process that:
-
Exposes and describes its functionality and attributes in WSDL
-
Allows other services to locate it on the Web using UDDI registries
-
Allows remote services to invoke it using standard Internet protocols
-
Returns a response to the requesting application over the same protocol
