How to write web services will depend on what you want your services  
to offer, and what clients you need to support. The easiest way to  
provide web services in Rails is to make use of Rails 1.2’s RESTful  
features to provide a REST interface to your application. A good  
introduction to that can be found at:

resources

If you’re wanting to provide a SOAP interface, you’ll want to look  
into ActionWebService.
