The example in Axis programming user guide doesn't give enough guideline foe

okay...

not so great.
Surely there's an example that uses APIs which still exist? I probably
wouldn't suggest people use WSIF at the moment, for example.
I think the most important thing is to understand how SOAP works, once
you have a good grasp of what the architecture is meant to do (pass
messages from a to b, put simply) then Axis makes a lot more sense. Try
to treat it as RMI with different ports and you'll get confused in no time.
The simplest example services are those based on the .jws mechanism, try
deploying one (just put axis in a servlet engine of your choice and add
a .jws file, effectively just a .java file with a different extension)
then see if you can get the ?wsdl link from it working (i.e.
http://myserver.com/axis/test.jws?wsdl) - if this gets you WSDL then
build a client with the WSDL2JAVA tool or use the Call API to invoke it
in a stubless fashion. If you get that far you understand the basics of
Axis programming, I always find it easiest to learn by doing but of
course you may be different.
