How to call a webservice (e.g. MII)?

Question

I am looking for information how to call a webservice (e.g. a transaction in SAP MII) in SAP ME. For example, I have to call a webservice when the user clicks the "Start" button in a POD. Is this something I can only achieve by implementing my own activity hook? Is there a documentation about this topic?

Hello,
I try to do the same, calling a MII Webservice from a collaboration plug-in...
Based on my WebDynpro experience, I was expecting to have to reproduce almost the same code, so in the transporter, I write this code :
          MyWebService ws = new MyWebService();
          InputParams inputParams = new InputParams();
          XacuteRequest xacuteRequest = new XacuteRequest();
          // inputParams.setIFEQUIPMENT(inputInformation.getString("RESOURCE",""));
          inputParams.setIFREPORTEDBY(inputInformation.getString("USER",
                    "Unknown"));
          xacuteRequest.setLoginName(Constants.LOGIN);
          xacuteRequest.setLoginPassword(Constants.PWD);
          xacuteRequest.setInputParams(inputParams);
          try {
               XacuteResponse xacuteResponse = new XacuteResponse();
               xacuteResponse = ws.getMyWebServicePort()
                         .xacute(xacuteRequest);
          } catch (Exception e) {
               returnData.put("EXCEPTION", e.toString());
               returnData.put("SUCCESS", "false");
               returnData.put("ERROR_MESSAGE", e.getMessage());
But when executing, I got the error message "can not authentificate the user" (on the local Netweaver, it doesn't reach the MII platform)
Any idea ? Who can give me a complete example of calling an MII web service ?
Thanks
