The Web Services Producer enables a client application to access Adaptive Server Enterprise stored procedures and SQL using SOAP. The Web Services Producer component runs on the same machine as Adaptive Server Enterprise. The output of the Web Services Producer component complies with SQLX, which is defined as part of the ANSI specification for SQL.

The client can send a SQL or stored procedure command as a SOAP request, and any result is returned as a SOAP response. The methods provided by the Web Services Producer component conform to the SQLX standard.
The Web Services Producer consists of three components: an HTTP handler, a SOAP handler, and an XML mapper.
