wsdl2java should encapsulate the complex types for you, so you could call the WS as if it was a local object. you should not need to deal with SOAPElements in this case. If you are not experienced with WS this might be the easier starting point.

Yes, that exactly describes what I wanted to say, using all those "fancy" words like 
"MEP" and "complex type". :-)

As my service takes an complex type element as input, I need to pass 
SOAPElement and to receive SOAPElement. I don't know how to fill SOAPElement. I 
will try to use XFire for the client.

Thank you very much for your help,
Milan

Subject: Re: WebServices client

Although I have to confess that I lack any idea of what you mean by "takes an XSD element and returns an XSD element"* I think that the easiest way of testing a Web Service is to create client stubs using wsdl2java (comes along with your Axis2 distribution) and use this stubs to test the service. The whole process should not take < 30 minutes in general.

Alternatively I have often used XFire (http://xfire.codehaus.org/) to quickly test services ...

client? Since input argument is large XML, I would like to load it from a file, 
rather then building it in code.

Thank you in advance,
