It shows a service consumer at the right sending a service request message to a service provider at the left. The service provider returns a response message to the service consumer.  The request and subsequent response connections are defined in some way that is understandable to both the service consumer and service provider. How those connections are defined is explained in Web Services Explained. A service ...
