1. Get the wsdl.
2. Run wsdl through WSDL2Java, here is the general command structure:
%>java org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2java --server-side --skeletonDeploy
true <wsdl_filename>wsdl
This will create the clientside stub class and th serverside clases as
well. (It slways good to have the serverside code to play with, even of
the methods just return null, you can simply return a string or
something before hiting the real web service).
3. Now, there are a number of client examples that come with Axis1.3.
Got to the website and download the examples. The idea is simply to get
a reference to the stub obj (from XXX_Locator.java), then call the
appropriate method on the stub. (The stub implements the java interface,
created for you by WSDL2Java, from knowing the wsdl).
Using the XXX_Stub.java class generated for you (steps above) is far
easier than using DII (Dynamic Invocation Interface), but both work
well.
Be careful that TIBCO produces valid WSDL, otherwise WSDL2Java will
throw exceptions left right and center!
I suspect asking TIBCO for the wsdl is a bad idea (it might produce
dubious namespaces). If the wsdl from TIBCo doesn't work in WSDL2Java,
try hitting the service address directly in your browser, and just save
the xml on the screen into a wsdl file, named after your service, of
course!

Subject: Axis 1.3 webservice client
Hi,
I am new to Axis. I am trying to work on a poc where I need to invoke a
web service using Axis 1.3. The webservice is developed using TIBCO
Businessworks. I need to write the Axis client to invoke this service
and get the result. I have the wsdl. I developed a client but getting
few tomcat 404 errors.. I am sure that I am missing some steps.
Can anybody please help me understand the steps I need to write a Axis
client?
When do I need to WSDL2Java?
If possible pls provide a Axis 1.3 client sample?
Thanks in advance...
Best regards
The client code is below:
