You could RTFM for a start :) Axis isn't really at the level of sophistication where you can use it without understanding how SOAP is supposed to work. I know, I've tried to use it as a black box and failed. So you need to google for a tutorial on the different arrangements of SOAP messages. Hints from this list may be more useful to you once you understand the background.
I don't know how Eclipse uses Axis, but in general you'd need to proceed as follow. 1. Write the WSDL contract for the service. Use an XML editor, or a text editor if that's all you've got. Make it doc/literal. 2. Run WSDL2Java on the WSDL contract; Eclipse may be able to do this for you. This generates Java beans that match the XML structures in your contract and Axis stubs that know how to use those beans. 3. Among the generated classes will be a service-definition interface: a Java interface that must be implemented in both your client and your service. Methods of the interface take and return the generated Java beans. The client-side stubs generated in the previous step already implement this interface. You need to provide a class that implements this interface in the service.
