Define Web Services.
Answer
Web services exposes functionality over internet using protocol such
as HTTP. Web services can be accessed by two disparate applications from
different platforms as they use SOAP protocol to expose the business
functionality. SOAP is a platform independent protocol, so the consumer of the
web services doesn’t have to know any implementation detail of web services
based components. This is the reason why web services hosted on windows can
even be accessed by LINUX consumer.
