please help to run this simplest web service

thank u very much Tuno85,

so far what i have done is the following:--

1>downloaded jaxws-2_0.jar from this location https://jax-ws.dev.java.net/jax-ws-20-fcs/jaxws-2_0.jar.
2>the .jar file downloaded to my desktop
3>i unpacked it.
4> a folder appeared with the name jaxws-ri.
5>inside the folder there is a lib folder
6>i copied the lib folder's contents (all the jars) to tomcat5.5's shared\lib folder (here is a confusion ....the link " http://mywheel.net/blog/index.php/2007/04/18/deploying-java-6-web-services-in-tomcat/ " second bullet point says that to copy the jars to $CATALINA_HOME/lib but the link "http://www.coderanch.com/t/223670/Web-Services/java/Deploy-JAXWS-Mustang-WS-Tomcat#1052758" second bullet point says that to copy the jars to $CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib)
7>now i hv created a folder named HelloService in webapps of tomcat 5.5
8>within HelloService folder there is a WEB-INF folder, which has 3 things--
   a)classes folder,
b)web.xml
c)sun-jaxws.xml
9>classes folder is blank....i ant understand what to put inside it
10>web.xml i hv copy pasted from the links that u hv provided
11>sun-jaxws.xml i hv copy pasted from the links that u hv provided

but still i m in deep water.... i cant understand what to do next

i hv never used maven or ant...so i m very new to those field also....pls advice me from a laymans point of view...thnx again

Have you followed the first example where you generate the Web Service using APT tool from the POJO containing the annotations:

http://mywheel.net/blog/index.php/2007/03/28/web-services-in-java-6/

apt -dexample example/Hello.java (generates sub-folder jaxws)

Then follow:

http://mywheel.net/blog/index.php/2007/04/18/deploying-java-6-web-services-in-tomcat/

This should help you a step further.
