Whats the exact difference between a Proxy and Web Services? Are they two different concepts altogether? Do they have any similarities?

Whether a Proxy can be converted into a webservice?

No,proxies can't be cobverted to a webservice.

as even u said they are different concepts.proxies are a replacemebt for adapters whereas webservices(WSDL) are replacements for data types

Pete,

You generate proxies from an interface description in WSDL (Web Service Description Language) by using ABAP proxy generation.

The SOAP adapter enables you to exchange SOAP messages between remote clients or Web service servers and the Integration Server. Also you can use the axis framework with SOAP adapter. Check this help:
