Re: estimated time to server apache soap ...

[Daniel Zhang]

It really depends on how familiar you are with the concepts. It won't 
take very long to install and configure these servers IF you have clear 
clues in mind. If you are a total newbie, you need to spend some time 
reading the README files, knowing the concepts and procedures. 

I recommend you to install in the order of (1) Tomcat (2) Apache-SOAP 
(3) SSL.  The first two steps are similar, download zip or tar.gz files 
from apache.org website, uncompress, read README files(or installation 
note), and install it step by step. The SSL involved third party 
CAs(VeriSign or Thawte whatever) "certificate" if you are not satisfied 
with "self-signed" certificate. You can go to their website to buy one 
for your website by following the detail instructions. It may take 
several days for them to issue you the certificate. Sometimes you need 
to fax your company's credentials to them.

Hope you have an idea for these issues.

All,
I am trying to get an idea of how long would it takes to install and 
configures Apache SOAP + Tomcat + SSL connection.  I have some XP with 
Apache  and Tomcat, but a total newbie with SOAP.  If some had done 
this before, I would like to know what is involved and how long does 
it take to install it and configure it.  Thanks.
