Abstract
Workflows can be hosted in a web service, which provides an ideal way to expose workflow solutions to non-workflow clients such as web applications. A web service receives a request, performs some appropriate processing, and returns a response. This naturally translates to the Receive and Send activities you used in the last two chapters. Because these activities are integrated with the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), you can easily create WCF services.
