That means i am client for that web application.
If you are just trying to code a client, all you need is something to generate
"stub" code that will build a SOAP message, send it for you, and then interpret
the response.
There are a couple of ways to do this. One, as someone else has mentioned, is
to use the Axis tools to generate your stub code. (You do NOT need to actually
have axis deployed to a web server to do this, you just need to run the client
code generation tools.)
Another way is to use an IDE that knows how to create web service clients. I have not had good luck with the Eclipse IDE and associated web service development packages.
I suggest you look into using the Netbeans IDE. If you haven't used Netbeans before, you
will need to spend some time working through the tutorials and getting used to the tool.
However, in my opinion, it's well worth it. The latest version is Netbeans 5.5.1. Also
download and install the "Netbeans Enterprise Pack" - or have your sysadmin
support do this for you. Then, assuming you're programming in Java, just create a new
project, and tell Netbeans you want to add a web service client. It will ask you for the
WSDL of the web service. This is probably the URL you have been given. It should be of
the form http://bla.bla.com/ServiceName?WSDL. Just give that to the IDE and let it
generate all the stub code for you. You'll then be able to drag and drop the web
services operations into your java code, and it will generate for you all the details you
need to invoke the web service operations.
Others will have different opinions regarding the best IDE to use, but I can
tell you that when it comes to developing web services and web service clients,
the latest Netbeans tools do a very good job. Depending on your level of
experience, expect a few weeks of learning time, after which you should be able
to crank out the code to access web services in, literally, about 2 minutes.
Good luck.
