Create SOAP message from WSDL using axiom

I'm a starting a project wh开发者_运维问答ich consist in sending a request to a web-service (which is already available) and parsing the response. I have the WSDL and URL endpoints. Does anyone have a startup tutorial on how to build something from there?

I would like to use Axis2 + Axiom to send the service request and receive and process the response. I'm using eclipse as dev env. I've been search for a tut on how to do this but with no success.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know about Axiom, but SOAP UI is a terrific tool for testing web services in just the manner you describe.

I don't know if Eclipse has a plug-in for it. (They do for everything else.) IntelliJ supports it, so that's how I use it.

Well in conclusion, I did find two very useful links for the Apache axis2 project, got it working in no time!
