Take a look at Axis documentation that comes with axis 1.2.1 distro
zip(jar). Specifically, check out AXIS_HOME/docs/install.html. Tomcat
should be enough for your purposes, you do not need a j2ee container.
Tomcat is essentially a web server that understands servlets, ie a
servlet container. JBoss is a brand of application servers (J2EE servers
specifically), so it does what tomcat does + some other stuff
(Enterprise Java Beans, J2EE security and such). Therefore, since JBoss
== Tomcat + other stuff, in my opinion, using JBoss would be more
complex than using Tomcat.

Very basic question about setting up Axis and figuring out what I need
to install. I just want to create a simple test web service that will
not be used in a production environment. I need to install a servlet
container in order to use Axis. Tomcat is suggested by Apache. Is this
all I will need? Or will I also need to install a web server?
Also, I have the Java SDK 1.5 installed on my machine. Do I need to use
J2EE?
Would JBoss be just as easy to use as Tomcat? I believe JBoss includes
Tomcat.
Thanks,
Jan
