Web service client in Workshop 10.1

Question

Anybody have any advice on the best way to create a Web service CLIENT in Workshop 10.1 ?
I've been looking around for a couple of days. I understand how to run clientgen from the command line. That works fine.
I have looked at the tutorial for using 'Web service controls' also. As far as I can tell, though, in Workshop 10.1 I can only generate such a control nside another Web service, as in the tutorial. In other types of classes, the Insert option is not available on the menu I pull up by right-clicking in the source. I hope I am missing something obvious.
My goal is to call Web services from other applications inside Workshop. The other applications may be Web applications or they may not. Most of the time they will not be other Web services.
Thanks in advance for any help !!

Thanks Vimala.
I am able to create the JAR using clientgen, and I can call the Web service after that from the command line. All of that depends upon various environment variables being set with setDomainEnv.cmd and it works fine.
I would like to create a Java project in Workshop 10.1 and use that JAR created with clientgen, but that does not work - I get an Exception wqhen I try to run, although it all compiles :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: weblogic/descriptor/BasicDescriptorManager
     at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)
     at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source)

     at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(Unknown Source)
     at com.kohls.example.client.SimpleClient.main(SimpleClient.java:29)
The classes are al lthere, or it would not compile, so I assume I am missing some of the scaffolding around calling the Web service. I just created a normal Java project - maybe that's wrong ?
