SOAP Client that becomes... a SOAP server!

[Ivan Venuti <i....@caribel.pisa.it>]

Hi,

I need a suggestion in what is the easiest way to implement a SOAP Server
that uses SOAP services from another (existing) SOAP Server.
In particular I'm redefining the existing services adding more features
(such as user control and so on) trying to reuse existing services
(accessible only via SOAP).

I wonder if these steps are a good idea:

 1) generate a SOAP client using the WSDL from the existing SOAP Server
 2) implementing of a SOAP server that uses functionalities of the generated
client
 3) (only for test) use the new server to "pass" the requests from users to
the existing SOAP server
 4) implement new functionalities to my SOAP Server (that still uses some
services of the existing SOAP Server)

Someone can give me a better idea or can confirm that this is a good way to
proceed?

Thanks a lot
