Is there a SAP-provided web service to return the contents of an SAP table or do you just create a web service on FM RFC_TABLE_READ?

Which Table?

SAP never ever recomend to access the database tables dedicated for an ERP application using any direct database access mechanism, SAP recomend to use RFC or BAPI, if you are planning to build a web service to access ERP application table, it is recomended to use corresponding SAP objects relevant to the table and use the web service enablement option associated with the SAP object.

If you are talking about a plain database table, there are 10 different way to accomplish that such as

create an entity bean in Netweaver and puplish the EJB as a web service

Create a data accessing program using plain java and publish as service.

As long as u hit the ERP table, be away from direct access, use the application programming API provided by SAP and use related web service enablement technologies
