Consuming Web services INTO NAV

Business Central/NAV Developers Forum

I am about to build functionality for reading invoice data from a customer into NAV 2009. The customer exposes incoices using a web service on his server.
The problem is that all information from Microsoft, and most postings I have found on the net is about web services cover the opposite; how to expose a webservice from NAV.
From what I have found out it is possible to use automation like XMLHTTP and DOMdocument, but that involves a lot of coding including parsing of the XML.
I guess using an XML port would be better.

Do anybody have some ideas of the best way to do this? Links?
