WSIF uses WSDL4J to work with WSDL documents and AXIS to execute SOAP bindings - to look on WSIF check its new homepage http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsif/
we are now in process of making first official release you can find current beta version (and tomorrow release candidate) in downloads section or use CVS to get the current version. WSIF includes now documentation with samples so you should be able to see quickly how to use dynamic invoker (samples/simplesoap) and look on what is involved to work with complex types (complexsoap).
thanks,

I am trying to do the same thing. I am using WSIF to do it. You may take a--
look at the DynamicInvoker example to get an idea.
Right now it seems like handling complex data types is the biggest challenge
to me. I haven't seen any good example with open source components.
I am also new to Web services. As I understand it, yes, there could be more
than one Service, PortType, and Message in a Web service.
Hope this help.

Subject: Dynamic Invocation w/ Axis
Hello there,
I'm trying to create a generic invoker for web
services using Axis. If all that you are given is the
WSDL file, then how do you go about getting and
setting the individual parameters for operations in a
SOAP call? I've had some success using the WSDL4J
framework for manipulating the WSDL files, but I'm
still not sure how to create a call in which you don't
know ahead of time what the operations and parameters
will be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
And also, is it possible to have more than one
Service, PortType, and Message in a Web Service. The
reason I'm asking this is because I have put loops to
get each of these things. If I know that there could
only be 1 of each of these things, then there is no
point in putting them in a loop.
Thanks,
Vinu.
