If you are using SOAP, then you *are* using web services. SOAP provides a
web services interface. There's no way to use SOAP without providing a web
services interface.

A UDDI registry isn't *required* when using SOAP. A registry provides a
foundation for management and governance of web services and SOA projects,
and I strongly recommend setting up a registry before deploying any services
into production, but two SOAP endpoints don't need a registry to figure out
how to talk to each other. You can simply exchange WSDLs and go from there.
