If you want to use https, you just download the wsdl first, and make the wsdlLocation and url in your generated client class point to that file.

or generate your client like this

URL url = new URL("https://......?wsdl");
QName qname = new QName("NameSpace of the Service", "ServiceName");
Service service = Service.create(url, qname);

ServiceClass port= service.getPort(ServiceClass.class);

then you could can start to use the port.

You can find the example of later one in the website.

Oh, I forgot one thing. You have to add trust key in your java keystore. The following website shows the way to do it.
