Java Web Services

[brad211987]

New to Web Services and can't seem to figure out where to start. I want to write a web service that will accept an XML document, parse it and do some server side processing, then return a status message. There seem to be so many different technologies under "Web Services" that it is difficult to find out where to start.

Does anyone have any recommendations for starting a simple web service like this and running it in a Tomcat server?

The best place to start is here:

Thank you! This is exactly the type of introduction I was looking for.
