Providing non interrupted Web Services from resource limited mobile devices in a light weight processing manner is a significant need. This paper takes a step towards achieving this goal. An implementation of two frameworks for providing Web Services from resource constraints devices is presented. The first framework is implemented to provide SOAP Web Services and the second one is implemented to provide RESTful Web Services. Each of those two frameworks has its own features and shortcomings. This paper provides a comparison between SOAP-based frameworks and RESTful-based frameworks. This comparison is carried out to allow us to decide on the framework that best suits mobile environment capabilities and fulfils our requirement of providing mobile Web Services continuously with a light weight processing requirement. This comparison is undertaken and analyzed using three different test scenarios. Our preliminary work shows that a RESTful-based MWSF is more suitable for mobile environments.
