Web Services without SOAP

[msymms]

Can someone point me in the right direction? I am new to Java
(somewhat) but have built many web services in .Net. This time
however, I need to build one in Java without SOAP. I am using eclipse
and have Tomcat and Axis running. Is there a book .... tutorial ...
concept to tearing web services away from the fat envelopes of SOAP. I
need something light and quick. What are my options?

TIA

One thing that I have heard about is XML-RPC. Java has support for this
"Java API for XML-Based RPC (JAX-RPC)". See the URL
http://java.sun.com/webservices/jaxrpc/ for more details.
