Thanks for your interest. The tutorial is entitled "Understanding Web

and can be found at

Thanks. Heh, that tutorials 3 years old. If you want to use it, I
suppose you could download Geronimo 1.1.1 and give it a try. You'd
also want to use a down-level version of Axis2 (I'd guess the tutoral
was written for Axis2 1.0). There may be more up-to-date tutorials on
DeveloperWorks, but have no idea where you'd find them.
As an alternative, I'd strongly recommend you take a look at http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC21/web-services.html
Note that the tutorial assumes that you're using Eclipse -- this may
or may not be desirable for you...
I do have files installed in %geronimo_home%\repository\org\apache
\axis2.
There are seven directories entitled:
axis2-adb
axis2-java2wdsl
axis2-jaxws
axis2-jaxws-api
axis2-kernel
axis2-metadata
axis2-saaj
Since I am new to this, if the tutorial is very out of date, it will
be a
challenge to "translate" to the new context. So, what URL can I use to
verify that Axis is running? That will have to be where I start.
I appreciate any guidance I can get.
Try out the tutorial on our Wiki, mentioned above.
Geronimo Java EE servers have two distributions: Tomcat+Axis2 and Jetty
+CXF. So, depending on which distribution you've downloaded, by
default you'll be using either Axis2 or CXF for your Web Services
implementation. Either is EE 5 compliant...
