Thanks for Mike's informative suggestions.

Hi Alphonse,

As for the "a web service can accept http get and post, not just SOAP/XML."
you mentioned, here is my understanding on this:

The HTTP POST /GET or SMTP are the actual transport protocal the webservice
message binded to, it can be defined and described in the WSDL of the
webservice. And the SOAP/XML is the message format(how the content are
formatted in the message) of the webservice, they're difference from each
other. In other word, SOAP/XML is the message infrastructure, which is
based on the actual transport protocal, http post or http get or smtp. ....

---------------------------------------------------------
SOAP/XML message body //abstracted high
level
---------------------------------------------------------
http get | http get | smtp | other protocal //fundamental
implement

Do you think so? In addition, as for implementing authentication mechanism
in webservice, there're many buildin approachs in ASP.NET webservice such
as integrated with IIS's authentication. Or defind some customer SOAP
headers to provide the authentication token. Also, you can provide
authentication token in every method call, that's the simplest means. :).
Below is a former post discussing the authentication in webservide in
communty:
