Ok, [rolls up sleeves] perhaps I'll get more help with this if I edit the official wiki rather than my own wiki. :) I edited the following pages:
http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/Axis http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/Axis/AxisGeneral http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/Axis/WritingYourClient http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/Axis/InstallWebServices Also a small '''XXX''' added to http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/Axis/UsingCommandLineTools Can someone please help me fill-in that WritingYourClient one better? Specifically, I'm looking for that information asked about in my original post (also quoted below). I think it would really make it easier for newcomers to Axis to get started.
