Calling external webservice.

Hi,
 
I am new to S-controls and would appreciate any help.
 
I am trying to call an external webservice that requires certain complex type input parameters.  It also returns a complex type output parameter which I need to display on a web page.
 
For e.g.
WebserviceA (LoginInfo lInfo, SearchInfo sInfo)  returns ResultsInfo rInfo
 
From the reading I have done so far, it seems like Scontrols is the way to go.  Any pointers/links to samples to help me achieve the above will be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks.

Is the web service on another domain?  If so, the browser will typically prevent the call to the other domain, but we have a feature in beta that can allow proxying calls.

I am a little confused.  Please help me out.

I see samples -- Mashups with Google, Yahoo Maps, Youtube etc, where a webservice is called.  How do these differ from calling an (REST enabled) external webservice(my initial post)? 

Thanks.
