Java & SOAP

[nfamous]

I need to learn about Java & SOAP. Being made to use this technology came out of left field......What books or sites can you guys recommend? I've never worked with it before, so I'm kindof confused about it right now...

I don't know of any specific sites besides Google. We use gSOAP at work but it's c++-based not java.

Axis seems to be the most popular java SOAP framework but it's not the only one.

Avoid using a datahandler as a variable type for transferring, unless you can require all clients to connect to the server with Axis (or possibly another java-based SOAP).

I've worked with both before, but unfortunately, it was just platforms where things had already been set up and I was just maintaining/extending. In both cases though it was Axis (http://ws.apache.org/axis/ ) so that's an implementation you could look at. Their site isn't terrifically helpful though. Hope that's at least a little helpful.

Edit: d@mn sneakposting I should add that my experience has all been with the java version.
