What exactly are you trying to do?

In general an application must be designed to accept input from something. There are a range of interprocess communications technologies for doing this. A web service is not the same thing. A webservices is to facilitate communications across machine boundaries (that being said, it is possible for a webservice and the application using the web service to reside on the same machine). To get more useful information you'll need to provide more details on what you are trying to accomplish.
