Author web service question

We configure a port to send messages to a web service. I dont see how a web
service would be listening to a port. Why not use a windows service instead
of a web service?


Thanks

A webservice never listens to a "port". Web Services are like web
applications and expect to receive XML data on port 80 using the HTTP
protocol. (Although other bindings are possible, only HTTP is fairly well
standardised.)

The BizTalk Server send port submits the XML to that particular HTTP
location wrapping your data using the correct SOAP syntax and semantics.

Best regards!
