It's official: Java combined with Axis2 and Tomcat is the worst learning experience I've had, bumping off the WIN32 API from the -1 position. Never before have I read so much misleading, conflicting, under-documented bollocks. Some of the official stuff is even just plain wrong. The WIN32 stuff, which I consider messy and verbose, has correct documentation. The last 3 weeks have been a friggin nightmare, I've written maybe 100 lines of application code. The rest of the time has been spent configuring, re-configuring, blowing away when I realised something wasn't the right way to do it, then doing it all again because it wasn't really clear the first time.
I'm champing at the bit to actually get started, and this crap is holding me back. I'm about ready to do a major dummy spit.
