Host an SOAP - HTTP windows service application Outside of IIS   

Hello,

I wonder whether with the DotNet framework 2.0, it would be possible to 
write a windows application service which incorporated a server HTTTP 
"embedded" (via code) without using IIS locally.

The purpose of the application is to consume SOAP messages over HTTP 
containing objects (described in a blueprint XSD) and return reply 
containing objects serialisé with xml (via their XSD schema)


I do not want to have to install IIS and go through web services as in 
the messages SAOP there would be no description of methods, but the 
description of objects.

Let me know namespaces and classes.
As one example of code, or link on the web.

Thanks
	

I just find this on MSDN so I think maybe is not possible.
I have to use IIS & ASP Web Services	

What do you think ?

  How to: Host an ASP.NET Web Service Outside of IIS

The Web Services Enhancements for Microsoft .NET Framework (WSE) enables 
ASP.NET Web services to be hosted in console applications, Windows 
services, COM+ components or Windows Forms applications and then be 
called using the TCP protocol or any custom transport protocol written 
for WSE.

............

When a Web service is hosted outside of IIS, some of the programming 
elements that are specific to HTTP are not available. The 
System.Web.HttpContext.Current property is one example of this. The 
following paragraphs summarize the other elements that are not available.

The following properties of the System.Web.Services.WebMethodAttribute 
attribute cannot be used by a Web service that is hosted outside of IIS.

     * BufferResponse
     * CacheDuration
     * EnableSession
     * TransactionOption

The following configuration elements cannot be used by a Web service 
that is hosted outside of IIS.

     * <serviceDescriptionFormatExtensionTypes>
     * <soapExtensionTypes>
     * <soapExtensionReflectorTypes>
     * <soapExtensionImporterTypes>
     * <wsdlHelpGenerator>

The easiest way to do this would be to use WCF since it does not require 
IIS and reduces the complexity of hosting the web service inside Windows 
Service.
