Help regarding project development using web service approach.

Well, Phani ... you have a problem!

The best way these days to work witrh web services is to use the web services toolkits and associated development tools. Every major middleware vendor offers web services development environments: Sun, Oracle, IBM, BEA, ... you can develop web services on tomcat.. You do have to have some kind of middleware to handle the server side, although you can develop a standalone client-side to access the server-side web service.

First, you might start with something as simple as google for "web service" ... see what you get. I am sure you will get a link to Wikipedia for web services. That should give you a little idea. Browse through some of the other links.

Decide on a toolset. Since you have asked your question on the Sun Developer Forum, I suspect you would be comfortable using Sun's tools Download and install Sun's AppServer (either the latest released version of Glassfish or the AppServer 9, which is derived from Glassfish) and the Netbeans IDE. You will have to also download and install the Netbeans Enterprise Pack for the IDE. I believe it supports web services. I assume you have some recent version of java already installed (I suggest Java5 or later).

There is a great tutorial available to support the AppServer ... I think there is also a separate tutorial for the IDE, Work through the tutorial(s) on web services. At that point you will be well started.

Go get 'em, tiger!
