These documents are designed to give an introduction to using some of the web services components and features of Component-X.
The two main topics that will be covered are making soap RPC calls and using wsdl files to generate the required components and using soap messaging to communicate between processes.
Soap RPC will be primarily used for using web services published on the web by a wide variety of organizations, while the messaging protocol is intended to allow a simple, lightweight protocol for instances of Component-X to communicate with each other, and potentially with other, third party services.
