In Eclipse Kepler it is very easy to generate Web Service Client classes You can achieve this by following steps    RightClick on any Project- Create New Other - Web Services- Web Service Client- Then paste the wsdl url or location  in Service Definition- Next- Finish  You will see the generated classes are inside your src folder   NOTE  Without eclipse also you can generate client classes from wsdl file by using wsimport command utility which ships with JDK   refer this link Create Web service client using wsdl

I wouldn t suggest using the Eclipse tool to generate the WS Client because I had bad experience with it   I am not really sure if this matters but I had to consume a WS written in  NET  When I used the Eclipse s  New Web Service Client  tool it generated the Java classes using Axis  version 1 x  which as you can check is old  last version from 2006   There is a newer version though that is has some major changes but Eclipse doesn t use it   Why the old version of Axis matters you ll say  Because when using OpenJDK you can run into some problems like missing cryptography algorithms in OpenJDK that are presented in the Oracle s JDK and some libraries like this one depend on them    So I just used the wsimport tool and ended my headaches
