For Axis-related questions, please use the axis-user list. Axis has a java2wsdl utility, but it won't produce a proper WSDL description from this interface. It needs to know the structure of your input and output documents to really be effective. And it also needs those structures to be defined as Java constructs rather than XML constructs.
Unfortunately, your only real option is what you've already deduced -- contruct the WSDL by hand and use the Axis Messaging provider to pass the request to your service, which performs the action specified in action string. Web services are XML Schema-centric rather than DTD-centric. You'll need to convert your DTDs to XML Schema to proceed. I think you can find a few free utilities for converting DTDs to Schema using Google. I also recommend that you use a WSDL editor to help you write the WSDL. Cape Clear provides a nice little free one. See http://www.capescience.com/soa/index.shtml.
