I own and read much of
Building Web Services with Java: Making Sense of XML, SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI (2nd Edition). I got so deep into the trees that the forest became a distant memory. (The book is focused on Axis 1.2beta So that's pretty out of date, right? )

I took a step back, read an introductory article, and said to myself "Ya, I know this stuff. I just need to do it."

I next learned that Axis 1.4 Final is out. Next I learned "Apache Axis2/Java Version 1.2" came out on April 27th 2007 ( http://ws.apache.org/axis2/ )

As mentioned in another post, it seems like Axis 2 is the thing to learn instead.

So... I heard there may not be any Axis 2 books out there which are known to be great. There are faster answers than books anyway.

What is the answer to the question of where is the article on Axis 2 that shows how to write a "hello world"?

Is there a "UML Distilled"-like book or article that doesn't tell you the world, but tells you enough to get going?

Thanks.

If this was my problem I would get a hold of SOA Using Java� Web Services (amazon US; Sample Chapter: Basic SOA Using REST) to learn JAX-WS.

(Mark D. Hansen's posts during a recent book promotion and his homepage)

That means you will be using the GlassFish application server for the web services. Once you have a solid grasp on JAX-WS you can move to Axis 2 - at least then you only have to figure out the Axis centric stuff.

Thank you.
 
That's my roommate. He's kinda weird, but he always pays his half of the rent. And he gave me this tiny ad:
