After never needing it for 20 years, I now need to develop and implement a SOAP solution which will send claim information out to a site, and return responses.
I'm RTFM-ing now, but one thing that concerns me, is that if I understand this correctly, I need a web server to get responses back. Is this correct?
We have a MS database server where the data, and this application would live. We have a separate web server, on a linux box, that can access the MS machine.
If I write this, 1) can I send this request out from the DB Server, and get a response back? 2) Send something to the web server, have the server send and receive the request and send it back to the db server? 3) run a very limited web server which would only listen for the client's ip range, in order to send/get requests?
I'm not looking for details, I just need an idea of the general direction I need to head. If I could do 1) that would be awesome, but if I'm understanding what I'm reading so far, I'll need to do 2 or 3.
Would appreciate clues. Thank you!
