The .NET Web service model is a similar deployment model to Web forms. Proxy objects can be integrated into your .NET classes, which then can be deployed as Web services. As with Web forms, your run-time assemblies and proxies must be available to the server-side code. While .NET Web services are possible with your .NET proxy objects, OpenEdge tools such as Web services tools provide a more seamless approach by providing native Web service capability directly to the OpenEdge application server.
