try http://149.98.242.166:8080/GMPServer/services/GMP?WSDL

to get the wsdl, or
http://149.98.242.166:8080/GMPServer/services/GMP?method=authenticate&param=
rcuprak&param=alpha

to invoke the endpoint

time to start debugging.

I like to use tools like Xmlspy when starting off, just to avoid having to
get the client side right first. you can also use Wsdl2java to create junit
tests, download chapter 15 of my book http://manning.com/antbook to steal
the code to do that
