I'm not entirely sure what you want to do -- are you after a SOAP or REST service?
If SOAP, then there's a good tutorial here which covers Tomcat: http://www.jroller.com/gmazza/date/20080417 I'm only a noob myself, but this is what got me started, and I still refer back to it fairly often. Ignore the bits about Glassfish Metro, and I found after starting with the Ant-based instructions that in the end the Maven-based route worked more smoothly. This tutorial covers specifying a WSDL first, then auto-generating the Java classes from that, rather than the other way round. This is probably what you want to do if you're designing a service to meet an existing spec. Otherwise you'll end up tweaking bits of Java here and there in the hope that the WSDL that comes out matches what your existing clients expect -- and that'll just lead to tears. If you really want to do Java-first there are other tutorials out there that Google will lead you to. If you're testing SOAP services, you absolutely want to get soapUI (soapui.org), trying to do it manually with wget will just be painful. If on the other hand you're after a REST service, then I'm afraid I can't help you much, as I've never done that :-) But {cxf rest tutorial} gets quite a few Google hits. Good luck!
