help... new to web services

[Srinivasa Kadiyala]

I am new to developing web services with Java2. We are using axis 1.2.1 version. I have a WSDL file and would like to know how to write a java class to generate classes using the WSDL.

I also would like an expert to suggest me a good � Teach your self � book to begin as well as a good professional book to mater.

Thanks in advance.

Do you just want to create classes that can access the WS descibed by that particular WSDL, or do you want to write a program that can read any WSDL and generate code to access the described WS? The latter is a tricky proposition, while the former can be accomplished easily with the wsdl2java tool that comes with Axis.

That's precisely what WSDL2Java does.
