Hi, Im pretty new to Java Web Services, but I cant find a good explanation anywhere.
I have 2 Java web projects within NetBeans.
One as a web service and one as a client for that web service.
I have also created my own class called "Person", which has what you'd expect: name, dob, etc.
I would like to have a web service method called "ListPeople()" that would return an array of "Person" objects.
Do I need to have that class in both projects?
Should I be serializing the object first?
Should I be using JAXB, if so, where do I start?
Sorry for the n00b questions, but im confused.
What is the normal way of accomplishing this?
Thanks in advance
