RE: Remote method identification?

SOAP servers often have a WSDL (Web Services Description Language) document
available. This is an xml file which describes all of the services and their
methods. It includes everything you need to configure a client for making a
request of the service. For some examples of WSDL, see www.xmethods.com and
click on nearly any service. They all have WSDL. There are also tools from
Apache Axis and GLUE that generate WSDL from a Java component being exposed
as a web service. You can all read about WSDL at www.w3.ord/TR/wsdl

Hi,
Is there any way to remotely understand what services or methods a SOAP
server can respond to?
Thanks,
Jason
