Calling Webservice from SAP ME

Question

Hi
I have searched the forum unfortunately I am not able to find an answer to my question.
Basically, I would like to call an external System from SAP ME via web service. I am thinking to use Collaboration Link  for this purpose. For example COLLABORATION_SHOPORDER_RELEASE, I would like to trigger the Web service.
What should I do? Where Can I get the documentation about this (edit: I have found it in SDK) ? Do I need SDK for it (writting own code)?
This is not SAPMEINT or any ERP integration, it is just custom systtem integration. I appreciate any recomendation.
Thanks

what I have done are
1. Created a collaborative directive maintenance with just simple HTTP transport (synchronized set to true)
2. In the HTTP transport parameter I inserted the
url=http://xxx:50000/XMII/Runner?Transaction=EquipmentIntegration/trx_CreateOrder
3. In Collaboration Link, I linked COLLABORATION_SHOPORDER_RELEASE to the Directive maintenance I have created.
4. When I releases shop order Internal error occur
Any idea?  The url above works. I just want to trigger the MII transaction without input.

Hi Ivan
Thank you for answering, but I think you misunderstood what I am looking for.
The plug-ins are already there in ME. For example Transport, I am using Simple HTTP Transport to call an Outbound HTTP. In this case this HTTP is an MII's transaction.
I want to call this WebService each time when I release shop therefore in COllaboration Link Maintenace I have the Trigger Action Collaboration_Shop_Order_Create link to the Collaboration I have created.
I do not want to call MII's transaction with SoapUI but with SAP ME.
Any Idea how I could do it? If you still do not understand what I mean, please let me know. I will try my best to explain it again.
