Abstract
Web services are based on certain standards and protocols such as SOAP, XML and WSDL. They are great when it comes to developing standards based services that are accessed on the internet. However, at times your needs are different. For example, you may want to develop services for an intranet application and want to use binary format over TCP for performance reasons. Or you want to use some highly secure communication mechanism that uses some custom encryption strategies. Web services may not serve your purpose in such cases.
