Return data to it's calling process

Hi

I have to developed a web service that will use BizTalk (2004) to return
data from SQL back to the client that called the web service.

i.e.

Client calls web service. Web service ask BizTalk to return data directly
from SQL inside a Dataset (or XML). Web service returns dataset to client.

(I know ADO.NET would be simiplier, but my client wants it done through BT)

Can anybody tell me how (or even if) BizTalk 2004 can actually return data
in a way that is analogous to a function call and if so point me to any
resource that may help.

Thanks in advance.
James
