I created this Web Services with JAX-RPC and Axis Presentation[PPT] for a talk at Web Developers' Conference organized by Technology Association of Gerogia. The presentation included demo of a simple program and code walk-through. The presentation and the sources can be downloaded in a single bundle[ZIP]. The detailed instructions for running the program are in the presentation itself.

The presentation has 3 main parts:

• Web Services in Perspective -- Basic introdcution and earlier technolgoies that preceded Web Services.
• Web Services Standards -- Wire standards and Java APIs.
• JAX-RPC and Apache Axis -- How do you write programs and run them.

If you want to run the program and use the batch script setenv.bat to set the classpath, modify the batch file so that environment variable AXIS_HOME points to your installation directory for Apache Axis.

Note: If you find the presentation useful and notice defects or simply feel that I should have addressed few more issues, let me know. If I get many such mails, I may be motivated to update/revise/improve the presentation.
