Renamed from Demandware in early 2016, SFCC provides a seamless unified ecommerce experience to inspire a personalized shopping journey for every customer across all commerce channels: web, mobile, social, store, and more.
The framework enforces limits that you configure ― limits on the overall number of calls allowed in a time interval, and limits on the number of failed calls allowed in a time interval. It also collects analytics on your web service calls.
SFCC accelerator provides capabilities for regional and cross-brand eCommerce solutions. The customer is provided with an easy buy-in experience in a well-managed way. Orders are efficiently managed, and the customer service tools provided support a smooth shopping experience for the end-customer.
Salesforce Demandware is a Cloud platform that helps organizations follow and implement the B2C Marketing Model by delivering a consolidated platform and a unified experience for their customers. This platform can be installed within your organization if you have a huge customer base and sales.
You cannot build a web service outside of the UX Studio paradigm like what you described, but you can build a psuedo-service like pipeline in UX Studio that returns JSON, XML, etc. and it will work more or less just like any other REST service.
Demandware is Software as a Service (SaaS) provider, which will not allow you to access the underlying infrastructure (e.g. Tomcat server, Oracle DB, etc.) to make/install your custom extensions.
UPDATE (25.09.2015): Currently Demandware are making extensions to their controllers, migrating from pipeleine-based controllers to script based ones. Chances are that at some point they may even introduce an API for creating web-services.
Until this happens, your only option is to make some custom pipelines and utilize something like XML/JSON over HTTP for this type of functionality. (Or if you insist on having it as SOAP based service, you would need to parse the SOAP envelopes with explicit code)
