Getting started with JAX-WS [closed]

Question

Can someone suggest some good tutorials for getting started with JAX-WS? Using various tools like wsgen etc...

Answer 1

You can start here:

• Introducing JAX-WS 2.0 With the Java SE 6 Platform, Part 1
• Introducing JAX-WS 2.0 With the Java SE 6 Platform, Part 2

NetBeans has really good support for JAX-WS and plenty of tutorials are available, e.g.:

• Getting Started with JAX-WS Web Services

Glen Mazza's has written plenty of interesting articles on JAX-WS RI / Metro:

• Web Services on Glen Mazza's Weblog

The JAX-WS web site references good resources:

• JAX-WS Articles

Finally, the JAX-WS RI includes many sample for lots of use cases that you can checkout from:

• samples sources

Or just download and unpack the JAX-WS RI.

Answer 2

This was a good starter tutorial, all the source code was provided and the steps were well documented.

Hello World JAX-WS at DZone

Then I found this one and as the author: Paul Taylor states, he couldn't find anything decent for a web services tutorial either that wasn't Netbeans based. He didn't want to learn how to use an IDE, he wanted to focus on the tutorial! I totally agree. I like tutorials, but not when the companies that put them out are promoting their products as the main emphasis, not the tutorial itself.
