I'm unable to afford a Company Learning Pass to access Oracle-provided MyLearn materials to prepare for the NetSuite Web Services Certification, So I'm taking the approach of reading all the documentation (and building projects to implement and understand it) about SuiteTalk in the NetSuite Help files. Navigating the documentation in a depth-first manner (which will land you at "Philosophy" every time if you do it in Wikipedia), I arrived at an article at SuiteTalk Web Services / SuiteTalk SOAP Web Services Platform Overview / Soap Web Services Setup / SOAP Web Services Quick Start / Building and Application with Java using Apache Axis. It turns out that for me at least, this is anything BUT a "quick" start. At this URL: NetSuite Applications Suite I have installed the JDK, unzipped the "Ant" thing, and the "Axis" thing, and now I'm at Step 4. "Configure Java to generate unreferenced types." It gives a snippet:
Copy code
<axis-wsdl2java timeout="360000" output="${generated.src.dir}" verbose="true" 
      url="${wsdl-1.3.url}" all="true" wrapArrays="true">
But I guess I'm supposed to already understand where that goes. I saw lots of build.xml files in the "samples" folder, but I don't think it was talking about any of those, so maybe it meant the ant-build.xml file? A WinGrep over the various things downloaded for this "quick"-start found ant-build.xml matching that "axis-wsdl2java" in one place. But I can't tell if I'm supposed to add that spinnet somewhere (and where to add it) or change the existing one to have those attributes. Looks like I'm in way over my head. Can I properly learn this stuff without learning all about Java app development first? It seems it would only make me a better developer, but I wonder if I'm starting from the wrong end of the elephant.

I think you're over thinking it... it just wants this piece added
but regardless you're correct this is not a "quick" start guide, and you're not gonna have to write a Java app to pass the test, its multichoice 😄
