Web services are programs with interfaces that adhere to the standards set forth in the Web Services Description Language (WSDL). You can use a Microsoft BizTalk Server orchestration to create and use Web services to combine separate but related business functions in a manageable and intuitive way. For more information about Web services and orchestration, see Using Web Services.
The BizTalk Web Services Publishing Wizard is included with [!INCLUDEbtsBizTalkServerNoVersion] to speed up the development process for publishing Web services. After you create an orchestration that you want to expose as a Web service, the BizTalk Web Services Publishing Wizard generates a Web service project for you. For more information about the BizTalk Web Services Publishing Wizard, see Publishing an Orchestration as a Web Service. Note that prior to running the BizTalk Web Services Publishing Wizard, you must enable BizTalk Web services. For more information about enabling BizTalk Web services, see Enabling Web Services.
The SOAP adapter consists of two adapters—a send adapter and receive adapter.
