Compile WS client

Question

Hi all,
I have problems to compile a web service client called Access.java. I coded it following the J2EE 1.4 Tutorial, chapter 8, section "Dynamic Proxy Client".
I used wscompile to obtain the classes needed to connect:
C:\Sun\jwsdp-1.6\jaxrpc\bin\wscompile.bat -import -keep -verbose -httpproxy:xxxxxxx:xxxx -O config.xml
config.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration
     xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-rpc/ri/config">
     <wsdl
          location="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
          packageName="WSClient" />
</configuration>
I obtained these classes:
Authentication.class
AuthenticationSoap.class
AuthenticationSoap_Impl.class
... (other classes related with each method of the Web Service)
And I try to compile with javac in this way:
C:\PROGRA~1\Java\jdk1.5.0_04\bin\javac.exe -verbose -cp "%CLASSPATH%" Access.java
The classpath includes the 3 jar files for XML rpc of the JWSDP 1.6
The code is the following:
package WSClient;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.rpc.Service;
import javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory;
import javax.xml.rpc.JAXRPCException;
import WSClient.AuthenticationSoap;
ServiceFactory serviceFactory = ServiceFactory.newInstance();
Service WSService = serviceFactory.createService(WSClientWsdlUrl, new QName(nameSpaceUri, serviceName));
WSClient.AuthenticationSoap proxy = (WSClient.AuthenticationSoap) WSService.getPort(new QName(nameSpaceUri, portName), WSClient.AuthenticationSoap.class);
I get some errors in the last line. The compiler says it cannot find WSClient.AuthenticationSoap.class. It even says it can't find WSClient.Authentication in the line of the import at the beginning.
I have tried to add it to the classpath, but it doesn't work. What is missing?
And other question. Which is the class I have to use? Authentication, AuthenticationSoap or AuthenticationSoap_Impl? I think it's AuthenticationSoap because in the java file I saw that it is the archive which includes the interface for the methods of the service.
So please, help me. If you need more information, just ask for it, and I'll post it.
Thanks for everyone.

Oliver, is it only wrong in the stub? Does all of the generated code compile? If it all compiles then there is no error. The reason the _Type was added is because they are other WSDL names that have the same name.  Please read section 4.3.12 of the JAXRPC spec for more detail.
