Hi Qasim,
You might want to take a look at JWS files, they are basically just a Java source file named .jws instead of .java, when a J2EE server has jws files mapped to the correct servlet, things work just like a CFC, you just access http://server/MyService.jws?wsdl to get the wsdl: see my blog post on this: http://www.petefreitag.com/item/104.cfm (you can also do this on CFMX)
There is also sample JWS files that comes in the Axis SDK.
If you want to use the Java2WSDL tool, I recommend using the Ant tasks that come with Axis, then you just need to throw all the axis jar's in Ant's lib directory. There is an example of using Axis' wsdl2java tool with Ant in the web services chapter of my book as well.
