I apologize in advance if this is a duplicate, I’v searched for hours and can’t find anything.

I’m attempting to connect to a SOAP-based web service that provides a WSDL via a Java (specifically Tomcat) application. I’ve done this in .Net before and it couldn’t have been easier. I simply clicked “Add Web Reference” and pointed it to the WSDL and it generated all of the stubs and marshaling/unmarshaling code for me. I’ve heard of XJC and that seems promising although I can’t seem to find anything recent about it (everything is from 2002ish and seems to have broken links galore). I found one tutorial where they manually generated the SOAP XML but that just seems so much more inefficient than it needs to be. Will XJC do what I’m looking for? (That is, generate the class stubs along with code to marshal and unmarshal my requests) If so, can you suggest a tutorial/documentation?

Thanks in advance!

    I’ve had the best luck with Eclipse. Go to “New” -> “other”. Then in “Web Services” choose “Web Service Client”. Put the slider on “Deploy Client” and point it at your wsdl and it should generate usable client code.
