Keep in mind that you have two things to learn:
Service design of RESTful web services: What makes a web service RESTful? What design decisions should you take or avoid when designing a REST service? REST services should be implementation agnostic; When you’re designing a REST service, you shouldn’t need to worry about whether you’re going to implement it in Ruby or Java or whatever else. I recommend the O’Reilly Cookbook.
How Do I implement a RESTful web service? If you need to use java, you’ll want to evaluate a few different frameworks to decide what’s right for you. I’ve outlined a few below.
Restlet is quite a popular java REST framework that has been around a while.
Spring REST might work well if you’re already using Spring in other areas.
I haven’t used DropWizard, but it seems really cool. If you’re looking for something pretty lightweight, I’d start here.
In terms of SOAP, from a java perspective Axis2 is certainly quite popular. You don’t say in your question whether or not you need a single service to support both SOAP and REST, but if you do, Axis2 will kinda do this.
