How to access .asmx Web Service using JAVA? Newbie

Question

Hello Experts,
Currently, I have a project where in I have to access a ,NET web service. It is made of C#. I just want to ask how will I start the accessing process? I made this simple equation on how my project is.
Java Project + C#.Net Web Service = Integration
1. Do i need to create a Web Service too for the Java Project? If yes, What are the necessary tools needed for the creation of this Java Web Service?
2. The .NET Web Service is available online. (It is made by other people).
3. Based on the equation, what is the equivalent technology for the + sign?
4. Can you site a concrete example for accessing a web service?
5. I'm new here. Totally I have no idea where to start.
6. Thank you experts.

Hello
Thanks a lot for your help ...
I am developing simple J2EE based web service client using IBM WSAD 5.1. I have used the following code to call .asmx web service in Java
String url = "http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/tempconvert.asmx?wsdl";
     String namespace = "http://tempuri.org/";
     name = request.getParameter("txtName");
     try
          System.out.println("In Internet Service");
          ServiceFactory factory = ServiceFactory.newInstance();
          Service serv = factory.createService(new URL(url),new QName(namespace,"TempConvert"));
          System.out.println("Got Service......");
          Call obj = (Call)serv.createCall();
          System.out.println("Got Call......");
          obj.setProperty(Call.ENCODINGSTYLE_URI_PROPERTY,"");
          obj.setProperty(Call.OPERATION_STYLE_PROPERTY,"wrapped");
          obj.setTargetEndpointAddress(url);
          obj.setPortTypeName(new QName(namespace,"TempConvertSoap"));
          obj.setOperationName(new QName(namespace,"FahrenheitToCelsius"));
          obj.addParameter("param1",XMLType.XSD_STRING,String.class,ParameterMode.IN);
          obj.setReturnType(XMLType.XSD_STRING);
          System.out.println("Parameters Set.....");
          Object[] params = new Object[]{name};
          k = (String)obj.invoke(params);
          System.out.println("Result: "+k);
     catch(Exception e)
        System.out.println("Exception is : "+e);
    }But this code is throwing exception that
Invalid Address "http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/tempconvert.asmx?wsdl"I have also tried this URL with Java Proxy. But it showing the same error.
