Invoking a web service from a java code

Question

Hello
I created a simple Web service using JDevlper. It contains two methods
1) getInf int () {
return inf;}
2) void setInf (int a) {
inf = a;}
I have deployed it on Oracle Application server. By inserting the address in a browser, I tried both methods and it works correctly.
Here I am looking how to invoke this web service using a java client and use the method setInf (5 ) / * for example * /.
I search but I have not found an answer that works :(. I hope you could help me to solve this problem.
Thank you in advance

Because you weren't told what to get, perhaps you already have it eh?
What you want to read up about is JAX-WS, which is the webservice API bundled by default with your JDK (Java 6 and up). You'll find the wsimport tool in the bin directory of your JDK. I recommend you explore that directory and read up about all the executables you can find there, to be more prepared in the future. Know the tools you work with and all that. Most tools have a manual on this website:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tech/index.html
(under tools and utilities). Not wsimport, that is part of the jax-ws documentation. Better you look for jax-ws tutorials using Google, it will be quicker.
