Recommended Java Web Services platform

I am interested in making a first start creating a web service. The server needs to be Java, but from my initial reading there appears to be a number of platform options (Apache Axis, BEA WebLogic, Sun, ...) and many of the introductions to web services are 2-3 years old (so I'm not clear of which direction technology has moved).

I don't want to invest too much time reading up on all of them to work out which suits my needs, so could someone make a recommendation. These factors should be taken into account:
- Fairly simple to get started with, but expands well to take a high user load
- Has good on-line documentation or resources
- Isn't expensive to get started with

Q: Which Java-based web service platform/server should I look at?

I've tried looking a the links suggested. There seems to be a lot of information, but little advice. In fact, I can see no connection between my question and the second two links.

Given that there has been no other answer, perhaps my question was poorly worded. I know what web services are, and if I wanted to use Microsoft web services, I know what tool to use, but with java I am not sure where to start.

Any advice would be appreciated.
