Answer 1

In JavaEE, you can write a web service with code as simple as:

@WebService
public class TestWS
{
    @WebMethod
    public String sayHello()
    {
        return "Hello";
    }
}

Deploy this class to a JavaEE application server (i.e. JBoss), and you’ll have your first WebService online.

Here’s a quick tutorial to Java WebServices.
