I am new at webservice and i want to know where and when should webservices be used and exposed?
And what it takes to deploy and use webservices (wsdl file) on Tomcat or any other servers ?
Thanks.

From technology agnostic things the important knowledge is the stack composition: WS-(Servlet)-HTTP-(TLS)-TCP/IP (optional layers in parenthes). As a platform you typically try some lightweight option like Jetty or Winstone before falling back to the Apache Tomcal.
If you are after any webservice now, then a wise thing to do is just pick some mature Java standard technology like JAX-WS. There will be a good tutorial on java.net, respective Maven packaging and deployment plugins and IDE integration rigs. Once you have a simple thing working you'll have more specific questions most answered on SO.
