OK, now what the hell is this?

I'm providing DB2 OS/390 sprocs (painful) for a Java call to provide data back in the form of XML.

This is to be a "web Service"

I have no idea what they're talkining about...

Found this

Ok,
A web service takes a special XML doc to call a web method, and then the web method will return another special XML doc as a response. You can't just send any old XML and make it work. I'm not sure how to do them in Java, but I've got a LOT of experience with them in MS Visual Studio .Net. Usually, the development environment wants to get back a regular set of data from the database just like it normally does, and the development environment will return the correct XML to whatever is calling the web method of the web service.
