---+++ Doing the tutorial at ADASS
Most of the information you need for the tutorial will be available here before ADASS. Many of the examples use  [[http://ws.apache.org/axis/][Apache AXIS]].
If you are intereested in trying to do get these working during the tutorial on you lap top you should install [[http://ws.apache.org/axis/][AXIS]].
<br>To actually get AXIS running you will need to set up your environment after you unzip it. You may create a script to do this.
Here is the environment you need for simple AXIS client building (it's for DOS - you can convert for UNIX easily right ;):
<pre>
set ALIB=C:\java\axis-1_1RC2\lib\

set CLASSPATH=.;c:\java;%ALIB%\axis-ant.jar;%ALIB%\axis.jar;%ALIB%\commons-discovery.jar;%ALIB%\commons-logging.jar;%ALIB%\saaj.jar;%ALIB%\axis.jar;%ALIB%\jaxrpc.jar;%ALIB%\wsdl4j.jar;%ALIB%\log4j-1.2.4.jar;
</pre> 
Notice this includes c:\java - it's a good idea to include some directory in the classpath which you will generate WebService stubs into.

---+++ Doing the grid-services bit

Grid services are more complicated than web services (they do more complicated things) and need more infrastructure to build and run than is described above. [[http://wiki.astrogrid.org/bin/view/Astrogrid/GridServiceTutorialADASS2003][Materials for doing the grid-service tutorial on your own machine]] are available, including components for a sample service and its clients plus a list of supporting software that you would need to install.
