Hi,

In simple words, webservice is like a remote procedure call over the internet using SOAP protocal. You will have a request structure and a corresponding response structure.

You can use the webservice for both the sender and the receiver side also

Hi,

In simple words, web service is a web application that is designed to talk to machines rather than humans.

When you visit web site, you type a request into youur web browser, it sends request over HTTP protocol and browser responds back by sending you HTML page, which is nicely rendered by your browser so that you can read it.

When we talk about web service, an application (not browser), such as market analysis tool, also sends a request to web server over HTTP and server responds, however they don't exchange human-readable HTML, but machine-readable XML. The response is consumed and interpreted by your application. For example, it can update your database, or refresh stock quotes on your screen.
