I am trying to create a web service, my tools of trade are:

**

Axis2, Eclipse, Tomcat, Ant

**

I need to create a web service from Code, i.e. Write a basic java class which will have the methods to be declared in the WSDL. Then use java2WSDL.sh to create my WSDL.

So, is this approach correct:

1. Write my Java class with actual business logic

package packageNamel;

public class Hello{
public void World(String name)
          {
            SOP("Hello" + name);
          }
}

1. Now, when I pass this Hello.java to java2WSDL.sh, this will give me the WSDL.

2. Finally, I will write the services.xml file, and create the Hello.aar with following dir structure:

   Hello.aar

   • packageName
     • Hello.class
   • META-INF
     • services.xml
     • MANIFEST.MF
     • Hello.WSDL

Now, I assume, my service will be deployed when I put the aar in tomcat1/webapps/axis2/WEB-INF/services

But, here comes my problem, HOW DO I ACCESS THE METHOD World(String name)???!!, i.e. I am clueless about the client code!

Please enlighten me on making a very basic web service and calling the method. The above described 3 steps might be wrong. It's a community wiki, feel free to edit.

Thanks
