Ok, so I kinda know what webservices are. Communication between 2 applications via SOAP in XML-format. I know what a WSDL file is.

But what does the spring webservices framework do ?
That is something I do not know.

Lets say you have a simple application: Helloworld.java.
And now you want to make a webservice out of it, so clients can input their name and receive "Hello " + name.

How can you use the spring WS framework , to achieve this ?

Maybe your question about what Spring WS does could be answered here.

Yes, definitely read over the "Introduction" chapter of the reference guide...
