Maybe would be a good idea consider to apply Apache CXF. You can simple pass the WSDL to a class generator that will generate a Java API automatically for you.

The generated API will be a bunch of classes that has a kind of Façade. This Façade can be instantiated and used as other java class. The logic behind it is more or less like this: When some method is invoked the generated classes will create a SOAP request, request it to the webservice end-point, get the response, convert it into Java object and return it as a normal method invocation.

Apache CXF

Give a try, I’m pretty sure you will like it (I worked a long time with SOAPServer and SOAPClient too in PHP).

Some hints:

1. You can download it and use WSDL to Java to generate a Java Façade:
   https://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/wsdl-to-java.html simple like wsdl2java -client HelloWorld.wsdl
2. After java generation you can add the generated bunch of classes into your project and start using it (of course Apache CXF libs needs to be imported too).
