Suggestions required for developing a Webservice..

[Vinod Patil <vi...@patni.com>]

Hi All,

I want to develop a webservice as follows
1) The client submits a xml request in a pre fixed standard embedded in SOAP
body.
(eg :
<DATARQ>
	<EMPID>123 </EMPID>
</DATARQ>
)

2) This is received by the web service and it interprets it and sends back a
response giving the Latitude and Longitude of the unit.
( eg : 
<DATARS>
	<AGE>23</AGE>
	<SAL>5000</SAL>
</DATARS>
)

3) The xml response part is stripped from the SOAP response, saved to a
xmlfile and that is fed into some other system at the client side that
processes it.

There has to be userid,password authentication of the client and this whole
process should take place over SSL.
I intend to use Apache axis1.1 SOAP implementation

Can anyone suggest me what type of service will be best
suited(RPC,Messaging,Document,Wrapped)...
Also can i get any help/examples for using SSL over SOAP...

Cheers
Vinod.
