When creating an Apex Web Service, what is the only thing you need to actually worry about? -
ANSWER✔✔-Creating the business logic in Apex. The platform handles everything else for you, such as
hosting the service, argument and return type value conversions, and even generating the WSDL that
needs to be consumed by the external client application. Thanks Salesforce! ;)

(Workflow Action)

3.) Upload the WSDL.
4.) The WSDL will be parsed, and if parsing is done successfully without any errors, Apex classes will be
generated for each namespace that appears in the WSDL document. These Apex classes can then be
used to integrate with the SOAP service.
What is an example of a scenario where, when using the "Generate from WSDL" action, the WSDL
parsing may fail? - ANSWER✔✔-If the WSDL contains an unsupported schema type.
How can you convert Apex methods that invoke web services (i.e. those generated from a WSDL) from
synchronous actions to asynchronous actions? - ANSWER✔✔-Annotate the methods with @future. You
can then monitor the callout under Setup > Monitoring > Apex Jobs
