With web services it is pretty much
a) it works
b) it times out
You can set up another web method, but it will still either work or time
out.
You can ping the server and see if it is up, but if ICMP response is off on
the machine, it will look like it is down, even if it is not.
If you have full control of the server, you can set up your own mechanism
(service?) to query which services are up and which are down, if that is
helpful.

Hi,
Is there any way to check the availability of a web service without
including any extra web method?
Thank & regards
