Call external web service without bc provider?

[tomalley_timothy.omalley]

Is there a way to call an external web service without a provider?

We have a situation where our SE will keep track of a dynamic list of client web services and when client one wants something from client two, the SE will look up the location of client two and we would like to POST a request to client two and map the response back to the client one response.

I was thinking of using HTTPClient inside the SE. Is there an easier (better) way?

I also found the CxfBcProviderTest.java example. Would I do something like that?

Thanks,

I think it only works using HTTPClient inside the SE.
