Calling an .exe from a webserice

Hi,

I have the following requirement.

Develop a webservice that makes a call to an .exe program running on a server. The exe program when called would return with some output based on the input request made.

Just wanted to check if this is possible and if yes, how will that be done

Thanks in advance

should be possible, if the webservice is running on a webserver with really shitty security settings that allows servlets to run any code on the system.Would like to see you stop someone calling "format c:" though, or similarly destructive commands...
