SOAP on Sun Java System Application Server 9

Question

I am running the Sun Java System Application Server 9 (SJSAS). My goal is to have SOAP running on the server to handle incoming messages. I cannot find the answers to the following critical questions anywhere.
1. Should I be creating my own soap client/server with the javax.xml.soap package, using some utility that might come bundled with SJSAS that I don't know about, or using something like Apache AXIS?
2. Whatever I use, how should it be deployed to the application server? AXIS comes as a bunch of jar files, but to deploy a web service to SJSAS requires a war. Instructions for other application servers for using AXIS seem not to apply for SJSAS for this reason.
3. After I get the server installed, how do I actually connect that to any of the rest of the code on my server. For instance, would I put the actual business logic to query the persistence layer in a stateless session bean and then somehow reference the methods in that bean to compose the return message to go to the client?
If anybody knows of or is willing to create a tutorial to achieve this goal on SJSAS and has a place to post it, that would probably be a great contribution to the information available online. If I am missing such a tutorial, I apologize and would be glad to have it pointed out to me. Any assistance with actually deploying soap for SJSAS would be tremendously helpful. There is a lot of why to use it, when to use it, what the spec is, and so on online. There is precious little how to use it and even less how to deploy it. Thank you for any help.

the sun java system application server 8 and 9 comes with certutil and pk12util (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/tools/pk12util.html) programes. using them you can import them
or check on google how to conver pk12 certs to NSS format.
another option is to open the certificate in Internet explorer and save to cer format and then convert.
