Hi Vince,

Thanks for catching this -- your suggestion is indeed the easier way to
do it, and I have updated the article to reflect this. Letting the app
server do the work for you is a huge gain, and creating a web service
with GlassFish is remarkably simple now.

I will be adding a companion article soon about how to create a web
services client using NetBeans that walks through the steps of creating
the client artifacts and code to use them. The test clients in the
current articles are for quickly making some calls to the service, but
obviously leave out some of the steps in how they were created. I will
send an email to this list as well as the usual blogs and such when it
goes live.

Cheers,
Bobby
