Can someone suggest some good tutorials for getting started with JAX-WS? Using various tools like wsgen etc...

You can start here:

- Introducing JAX-WS 2.0 With the Java SE 6 Platform, Part 2
NetBeans has really good support for JAX-WS and plenty of tutorials are available, e.g.:
Glen Mazza's has written plenty of interesting articles on JAX-WS RI / Metro:
The JAX-WS web site references good resources:
Finally, the JAX-WS RI includes many sample for lots of use cases that you can checkout from:
Or just download and unpack the JAX-WS RI.

This was a good starter tutorial, all the source code was provided and the steps were well documented.
Then I found this one and as the author: Paul Taylor states, he couldn't find anything decent for a web services tutorial either that wasn't Netbeans based. He didn't want to learn how to use an IDE, he wanted to focus on the tutorial! I totally agree. I like tutorials, but not when the companies that put them out are promoting their products as the main emphasis, not the tutorial itself.

This is another simple one that I found Hello World Jax-WS RPC Style: At this site they also have some interesting examples that follow this, including a TCP/IP monitor that I may try to watch the soap messages going back and forth.

This was a reference I used: Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS) Users Guide

This last one was a big help as I have to do something very similar at work

I used the jaxws maven plugin.
http://java.sun.com/mailers/techtips/enterprise/2008/TechTips_Jan08.html seems like a good article to read.
