The success of a Web services deployment depends when it meets it "Systemic Qualities" of the business. Particularly, Interoperability, Latency, Extensibility, Reliability, Scalability, Availability and so on.
Real world Web services, you may create a Service Requestor for Amazon.com. Amazon has a link where you download their WSDL for invoking their services.
