I am trying to learn web services.
I wanted to know if If have the right idea of web services.
e.g.
A web server is publishing a web service.
My
java web application running on a web server wants some data published by this web service.
So I subscribe to this web service.
The web service then sends the requested data using
SOAP over http.
My application would then parse this SOAP object and convert it into a java object to store the information sent by this web service.
This java object would then be used to show the information on my web applications
jsp.
Is this how a web service would work?
