I want to start developing some web services, I've had some courses that talked about them and read about them on my own. However I can't seem to know exactly where or how to begin with them. I mean, I've done some tutorials and the excercises from class but that still left me kind of not knowing how to begin. Is there anything you guys can recommend me to start with this? I use Netbeans for the development. But I've used Eclipse as well...
A:
Have you looked at the Java web services tutorial?
http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.6/tutorial/doc/
After that, maybe start writing simple client apps to read from web services like those provided by Amazon, etc. It's probably easier to read from other services first before writing your own. Will give you a feel for it.

I think that CXF makes the developement of a webservice really easy.

RESTful Web Services is all about creating (as opposed to just using existing) web services.

Another alternative is Axis2
Check out this article for a high level comparision between Axis2 and CXF which might help you make up your mind between them.
