It's not "totally required". You CAN call the service constructor passing "null" for the wsdl and it should create the service fine. You'll need to manually set the ENDPOINT_ADDRESS property on the client to tell it the URL to hit, but that's not too hard to do.
One note: when you run wsdl2java, you CAN specify a "wsdlLocation" flag to specify a different location to be burned in. A popular setting would be the URL of the endpoint with the ?wsdl on it.
