Hello, What you would need to do is write a java client that accepts command line-parameters. Check out the following URLs for more information on writing RPC and Message based clients using SOAP:
http://ws.apache.org/soap/docs/guide/rpcclient.html http://ws.apache.org/soap/docs/guide/msgclient.html Be sure to take a look at the requirements to use Apache SOAP. Using the above guides we have created several standalone clients that are accessing web services using both RPC and message.
