Thanks Gustaf and Brian for your answers ;);

tclws toolkit is working perfectly for me as a standalne serwer, I didtn tested it under AOLserver, but I will try to do it...

I know about tclsoap package...
unfortunately, it is a very old package and it is using only old "rpc/encoded" style of WebService,
this is the reason why it does not work with
contemporary webservices using "document/literal" style;

tclws is much more modern, is using document/literal style,
and it automatically generates WSDL files...
I tested it with a good result, with WS toolkits:
java/Axis 1, gSOAP, http://www.webservicex.net/globalweather.asmx, ...

I know that WS/REST is simpler than WS/SOAP/WSDL but
the second also has some advantages,
for example under java/axis it is very easy to use a webservice by its wsdl file (authomatically generated java stub)
