XML/SOAP sample

[Duksun Choi]

Hello SOAP experts
I finished the conceptual and theoretical approach to XML/SOAP. Now I am trying to run the sample programm for SOAP.
If anyone tried already or know how to run the simple program for the beginners like me, how about sharing knowledges ?
Appreciate in advance.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can start of either with commercial products like Systinet, Weblogic or open sources like Apache Axis (xml.apache.org/axis). AXIS is currently a 1.0 RC1 candidate. The site contains examples, user guide to have a good start.
Ofcourse, you can also refer the book on AXIS from Wrox press (co-authored by me )
I strongly recommend you to use the TCP Monitor Utility tool called 'tcpmon' that comes with AXIS to understand SOAP request and response messages for all the examples.
Regards,
Jeelani

Or you can download the IBM Web Services Toolkit which not only includes Apache Axis, but a significant number of additional demos for Axis and other web services tools as well. Note that to use either Axis or Apache SOAP you will first need a Web Container. Apache Tomcat is probably the most commonly used web container for learning how to use Axis.
