Hello,
Is it possible for a web service to work without a web server. If yes, how
do you deploy the web service on a server and expose it on the Internet?
And, how the client applications can consume it?
This is because we don't have a web server but we would like to create web
services without the pain of installing and maintaining a web site only for
web services.
Thanks,
David.

David,
You do need a web server to run web services.

Yes, you will need IIS only because ASP.NET only supports the HTTP transport
protocol. Web services, in general using SOAP, doesn't require a web server
as it is designed to work with multiple transport protocols.
If you are only writing .NET Web services and clients, you might want to
look into .NET Remoting. I found this article documenting some of the
differences between Web services and .NET Remoting on Microsoft's site: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...tnetarch16.asp

You don't need a web server, but it is the easiest way. However, you can
use WSE to host .net webservices in a windows service, instead of in IIS
(for example). However, these do still need to listen to TCP/IP traffic,
just like a webserver. By far and away, installing IIS is the easiest way
to get started with webservices.
Here's an article on hosting WSE in COM+ http://weblogs.asp.net/cweyer/archiv...25/220627.aspx

can also use Cassini. (see www.asp.net) It is a lightweight HTTP engine,
not for production use but can host ASPX and ASMX.

auto-restart configuration?
The worker thread can error out while the parent thread in the server
