I was often asked, where should i start with web services? To understand what web services are one might need some foundation on stuff it built on, like, XML, Schemas, WSDL & SOAP.

In simple terms, Web Service is a service(software) exposed over HTTP (to be precise over any binding like SMTP, FTP or HTTP).
I felt, this path is relatively quick to understand and write software based on web services.

1. First skim through what XML, Schemas, WSDL & SOAP are?
A quick overview for this at w3schools.com

2. To develop java based web services, You can use the Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) to build Web applications and Web services, incorporating XML-based RPC functionality according to the SOAP 1.1 specification. This link changes as the version of JWSDP changes.

3. Any IDEs?
Sure, NetBeans 4.1 supports Web Services development. I strongly recommand to use NetBeans for web services development and click here for the tutorial.

Enjoy the nirvana in Java Web Services!
