I'm sure you can find a lot of working tutorials to develop your web service. I would recommend you going with REST and mark your methods with @Produce("application/xml") if you want to return data in XML format.

Just google smth like RestEasy, JAX-RS, REST with Tomcat etc and I'm sure you will find smth that best suits your needs.

Eg. have a look at netbeans tutorial for generation REST web service for your database tables: http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/websvc/rest.html

Web services are Web based applications that use open, XML-based standards and transport protocols to exchange data with clients. Web services can be developed by using different technologies like spring-ws, axis, jax-ws..etc In your case, you can have a java class which interracts with database and returns required response. This java class can be exposed to web using the web service concept.

Again if you want to call the web service from java, you need to write a java web service client.

Netbeans has provided a small example of different implementations of web service link

I think that it will be in your plus to take a look at the apache's tomcat wiki. You may find some usefull information there. I haven't done any websites in Java, I haven't seen such one. This is what I can do for you.
