Forgive this question, but I'm very new to web services!
I've got an application that takes a xml document in a request parameter attribute of a HTTP post. This xml document validates to custom xsd I created and I currently use JAXB to unmarshall the xml so I can pull the data out and insert it into my database.
What I'd like to do instead is create a web service that receives the xml document in a
soap message. Do I create a method that takes my JAXB generated class in the method signature and create the web service off of that method? How exactly do I create a web service that takes in custom xml? I also will want some authenticating data along with the xml like a username and password. Can someone point me in the right direction?
