Web Service to send files

Hi. I'm a .NET programmer with little Java experience. I want to create a web service to send update files to a program. The requirement is that it will be hosted on Linux, so I have to do it in Java.

What tools should I use? (IDE, Web Service library, Web aplication Server, etc)

I find it very confusing so far. There are all this 3-rd party libraries (like Axis, Axis2), which are not backwards compatible and there seems to be so little documentation available.

In .NET I'd write and publish this service in less than an hour. But In Java... here I am, googling, installing stuff on my PC and testing with little success for 2 days.

So far I managed to do grasp the basics of creating a simple WS with Netbeans IDE and the plug-in for Axis2 1.3). But just the very basics. What I now must do is to enable sending files with MTOM. Do you have any resources that could help?

Thanks.

re: Web Service to send files

Hey there!

NetBeans 6 has integrated Web Service ability and is working seamlessly, tried it my self. Here is a link you can use to get started, although, you'll need to load NetBeans on your system... if you have Eclipse, there's one there also:

NetBeans

Eclipse

http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/init...ToolsEval.html

Let us know if those worked!
