docs/tutorials

OK, so I can't possible be the first to ask this, but anyways, the reading list and "User's Guide" is not really what I'm looking for :-)

I'm looking for ONE book/tutorial on getting running with axis. Sort of like the sun tutorial, except its not about axis and almost not about webservices. I'm not looking for a lot of different sources of information, but one, if one such exists :-) A source that's up to date. Not a PowerPoint. 

How do You develop a service? I would expect You would start out with a java interface? Generate a lot of files using a ant script? Implementing classes that would expand on the created files? Run ant to compile and deploy the service on tomcat?

Could I see this ant script then?

Why do all ant scripts in the sample dir start from a wsdl file? Do people really start by writing a wsdl file and not the java interface file?

Ok, any comments are welcome - and review of a up-to-date book or tutorial of cause :-)

Try "Building Web Services with Java," (Graham, et al) esp. Chapter 4.  The
entire book is a tutorial using Axis.
