Erik published his sample Web Services online today:

We just released a couple free Web Services:

Zip Distance Calculator and Credit Card Validator

Thanks to Russ and Jim for helping with the testing. Also thanks to Matt for keeping me on my toes.

I didn't do much to help, but I sure learned a lot by Erik's examples. I didn't realize, for example, that you could produce a WSDL document using the Axis JWS stuff just by passing the page a parameter. That's pretty awesome. THEN there's this cool dynamic test client online which you can give the WSDL to and watch it come up with a form to play with the methods. All around it's a very cool demo of Web Services in action.

Thanks Erik!
