Its quite simpel: How do i call a web-service which can receive a XML-String sent with GET or POST and after processing some stuff, depends on the XML-String, also just returns a XML-String to the client?
It's not SOAP nor REST.
POX? simple HTTP request Web-service?
Edit: Is there a specific name for web-services which only deal with xml receives and responses?

It's just a web service, and in this case, happens to accept and emit XML. If it also adheres to the ideals of REST, then it is also REST.
There's little value in spending time trying to label or categorize a particular service other than indicating basic things about it. The specification for what it does, what it accepts as input, and what it gives as output is much more valuable.
