Stay tuned to IBMSystemsMag.com (December issue I believe) as I just
submitted an article showing how to build a WSDL from scratch and generate
an instance of the request and response so you know what you should be
parsing and composing respectively.

WSDL = Web Service Description Language. It is the service definition for
your web service. The idea is you can point a tool at the WSDL file and it
can generate a client that can use your web service. There is no need to
have this generated dynamically.

Also, there isn't anything about CGI that prevents you from creating a
standards based web service. What's missing are the tools to do all of the
grunt work assembling the bits and pieces and XML parsing.
