OK, here's my answer. The term "web service" means anything the speaker wants it to mean. Like "service oriented architecture" or "native XML database" or "electronic business" it's a fuzzy term that different people will define in different ways, depending on what they are trying to sell you.

    This is not that much off-topic. Please make the courage to answer :-(


Hi,


            Were can I find a good definition of this ? A web service must be based on SOAP in order to belong in this category ? A web service must use XML for transferring data (like SOAP) ? Can we have web services without WSDL and UDDI ?

Razvan
