I am glad to hear you have a working configuration. Your questions were not silly, nor was your experience unique. Helping users up the initial learning curve is one of the weaker aspects of many open source projects. A nice thing about open source is that one can always read the code rather than having to rely on possibly incorrect documentation or advice from a customer support staff. A bad thing about open source is that there are seldom a strong collection of resources to turn to besides the source code. I hope that the experience that I am able to capture in a few Web pages will help some users bridge the gap.
I hope you enjoy success with Apache SOAP.
