Anybody know the easiest tutorial to launch a Web service?

Post by raghavan20 »

I want to know whether there is a tested/working easiest tutorial available to launch a simple Web service.
I tried one from Zend but it did not work so if any of you have your own code of doing it or any other Web source, I would like to hear from you.

Do you believe using nusoap is best way to develop a Web service?

Thanks for your help.

In case you have access to a java web container and know how to program java: Axis is what you want.It takes a plain old java object and offers it as a webservice...

There is a minimalist sample with code http://timvw.madoka.be/?p=442

I am just now starting to study JSP and I think it would take time for me to do it in Java. But I am still surprised to see that no one has come across a simple tutorial on Web services in PHP. anyway, thanks for your help timvw, in case if I learn faster JSP then I would try Web services in Java....thanks again

Actually, i think most people would expect you to lookup stuff yourself ;)

Given HF track record, i would expect an article by him is one to recommend :
