[Here is nice little tutorial showing how simple it is build a web service.
SOA is really not complicated stuff. Web Service is very straight-forward
and you shouldn't have to learn everything there is to know about the
underlying platform. This is the same idea as not having to know about the
IP and TCP layer when accessing a URL over HTTP.  -- BSA]

Creating Web Services with Apache Axis
by Dion Almaer
05/22/2002

Web services have been a buzzword for a while. A friend used to say "Web
services are like high school sex. Everyone is talking about doing it, but
hardly anyone is, and those that are probably aren't doing it well." These
days, though, Web services are moving to college, so to speak, and lots of
people are starting to "do it" more often and better than before. Tools are
maturing, and creating and working with Web services isn't all that hard
anymore.

IBM has given a lot of code to the Apache group, including SOAP4J, their
group of SOAP tools. The Apache SOAP and SOAP4J guys got together and are
working on the latest and greatest tool set called Apache AXIS, which
features not only better performance, but also some new features that make
it trivial to play in this new world. I see the most common actions being "I
want to expose this functionality as a Web service," and "I want to access
that Web service."
