Does anyone have a link/sample into this?

How about using Axis2?

Just follow the quickstart guide and you should be on your way.

soapUI is a great tool to test a Web Service. It is really simple to either create a server stub to test your client or just send client request to any Web Service.

One of the most simple ways is to use apache cxf. There is a good documentation to create a client here. You will need java 5, not 1.4!

I presume you're referring to a SOAP web service? For a RESTful web service in which requests are submitted via HTTP GET, you really don't need anything more than a web browser.

You can use the AXIS WSDL2JAVA to generate the client stubs from the WSDL.

Also, you can program using the SAAJ.
