Provide a webservice

Hi Team,

I am new to webservice and currently I am responsible to work on the webservice
part on my team. Basically, we would like to use webservice for any user profile
update to the database because this database will also be used by other
application. What do I need to create in order for other member/application be
able to call and do transaction into the db? And then, what do i need to give to
them beside Method name? Do i need to give them the wsdl? Thanks in advance.

Hi Compose,

You need some web service started tutorial:

For how to implement a database transaction:

 You have no need give client wsdl, just providing web service url is ok. Client
side can get wsdl information via IE.
