You can use any SOAP client that interops properly with your SOAP server. For example, you could use the Microsoft SOAP toolkit (see http://www.scottnichol.com/vbclientapachesoap.htm for an example), SOAP::Lite (perl), NuSOAP (PHP) or PocketSOAP (C++). For an idea about the breadth of interop, check http://www.apache.org/~rubys/ApacheClientInterop.html, which shows the results of nightly tests using Axis and Apache SOAP as clients with a number of server implementations.
Your servlet client does not need to be on the same server as your service. It can also use a different SOAP implementation than Apache SOAP.
