Start going through the tutorials that come with Axis (you didn't state which version of Axis you're using btw, and there are major differences between them).
Anyway, the wsdl you list doesn't have an operation called "ValidateAddress". It has only one operation, called "process".
The call takes 2 arguments, as defined in the input message, and returns one value as defined in the output message.
Had you used Axis to generate your classes for you that would all have become quite obvious.
