How a module can offer its own webservice ?

[ecor6633]

Hello,

I built my first module which stores data in its own tables using
db_query(...).

Now, i'd like to manage thoses tables through a webservice which would
be a part of my module but i'm wondering how to achieve it.

As it is my first module i'm not really familiar with the API so how
could i integrate a uri in drupal site which would lead to a php5 web
service and how could i get access to db_query() in that script ?

I thought about :
http://localhost/drupal/sites/default/modules/myfirstmodule/service.php

Or maybe is there a special hook in modules that does not lead to a
drupal page with theming etc. Until now i only could create blocks.

If anybody has hints, i would appreciate.

Thanks,

Eric

First Google result for "drupal web service" is:

http://drupal.org/project/Services

If you register a function in hook menu and the page does php print
instead of returning $output, you will bypass the theming layer.  I do
this regularly to return XML data instead of a drupal themed page.  

Does that answer your question?
