Yes, even I am like those who wonder what this technology to learn all about? Since the Head First series is absent for the WS exam, people find it difficult to make out what exactly a WS preparation path would be.
I have made my hand quite dirty in RMH, but gained little.
A fellow rancher (Sandeep) has passed some links which would be sort of Hello World example for the starters. Here are they:
step-by-step instructions on how to develop, deploy, and use web services, using the J2EE 1.4 SDK
Sample Calculator Service I have not yet read these articles, but as I scroll them I feel these are a good place to start for some one who is in a condition 'show me some damn code please'
The experts here, can they please comment if it's safe to follw this as a intriduction for the 220 exam? I mean the server used in these articles etc.
Hope the links help
Thanks Sandeep
