Web services are building blocks for creating open, distributed systems. A web service is a collection of functions that are packaged as a single unit and published to a network for use by other software programs. For example, you could create a web service that checks a customer’s credit or tracks delivery of a package. If you want to provide higher-level functionality, such as a complete order management system, you could create a web service that maps to many different IS flow services, each performing a separate order management function.
Designer uses web service descriptors to encapsulate information about web services and uses web service connectors to invoke web services.
Note:  
Information about web services is located in webMethods Service Development Help, Web Services Developer’s Guide, and webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide.
* webMethods Service Development Help includes this Working with Web Services topic which provides procedures for using Designer to create web service descriptors, adding operations, binders, handlers, and policies to a web service descriptor; and setting web service descriptor properties.
* Web Services Developer’s Guide contains information such as how Integration Server processes web services, how a SOAP fault is represented in the pipeline, steps to configure MTOM streaming when sending and receiving SOAP messages using web services, and how to secure web services with WS-Security and WSSecurityPolicy. For completeness, Web Services Developer’s Guide also contains the Working with Web Services topic that appears in webMethods Service Development Help.
* webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide contains information about creating web service endpoint alias and configuring Integration Server to use web services reliable messaging.
