Using WSE to talk to a .NET Windows Service? -- dotnet web services enhancements

We're creating a Windows Service with the .NET Framework (.NET 1.1 and VS
2003) and have an obvious requirement to send commands and data to control
the Windows Service.

In the Windows Service, we're thinking of implementing a SOAP listener on a
"private port" using WSE to support the above requirement.

In addition, the console for the Windows Service will be able to register
for notifications (which the Windows Service would deliver as SOAP messages
to a port supplied by the console app when it registers with the Windows
Service via a previous SOAP call).

1. Does anyone know of any issues with this approach?

2. Is anyone aware of any sample code that implements a similar approach?

Make sure that you have all your object can be Serializable for sending over
the process boundry using WSE 2.0.
