can a web page be created using XML?

can a webscripts generate SOAP messages directly? if so, how?

just a few questions from a beginner....

Yes. Servlets, for example (see http://apache.org/ under Jakarta)

can a web page be created using XML?

Yes. I am in the process of going to do that. And I am not the first
;-). Have a look at Xalan for example, or read about XSLT.

can a webscripts generate SOAP messages directly? if so, how?

SOAP can be done with Perl for example or PHP:
http://pear.php.net/package-info.php?pacid=87

or would the script need activeX components to generate the SOAP messages?
http://ws.apache.org/

where can i find SOAP API documentaion (how to use the APIs)?

http://ws.apache.org/soap/docs/index.html

I think that apache.org has most of the answers to your questions or
good pointers.

Final tip: Use Google as a research tool, for example:

http://www.google.com/search?q=creating+web+page+XML

or better:

http://www.google.com/search?q=generating+HTML+from+XML
