OK thanks
It's quite difficult to learn when you managers want stuff done yesterday -
i'm still on that steep learning curve
do you have a good example of building a webserice without using any tools?
i've googled, but sa lot of example i found are out of date
many thanks

When you run WSDL2Java, it creates a service-definition interface, as
described in my previous mail. You write a class implementing that
interface:
call it the service-implementation class. From the service-implementation
class, you call any Java facilities you like. Your calls to work the DB
etc.
go in the service-definition class or in classes that are called from the
service-definition class.

That's my point. You need to get out on the web and study SOAP and WSDL
before
you can understand Axis.
You might find it helpful to build a service without using Eclipse, just as
a
learning exercise. That way, none of the construction steps are concealed.
