Creating a web-services client in Eclipse - java

I need to create a web services client in java/Eclipse to interface with a test management tool from my java testing code.
I successfully set up the client in NetBeans. This was a fairly painless process using NetBeans' wizard.
However, Eclipse is our IDE of choice, so I need to get the code over to it. I have found and followed steps to implement a web services client in Eclipse. The process in Eclipse is a lot clunkier IMO, but I successfully generated the client.
However, Netbeans and Eclipse don't seem to agree on what the information in the wsdl file means. NetBeans discovers/creates a larger collection of classes in its 'generated sources' folder than Eclipse does.
I must be missing something?
Looking for anyone who tried to create a ws client in both Netbeans and Eclipse, and is able to shed some light on why there are differences in the code created from the wsdl file, and how to work around it.
Thanks.

When you create a client using the wizard "Web Service Client" Eclipse, you are using a runtime for WS. I'm using Java EE developer version of Eclipse Helios (3.6) + JBoss Tools, With JBoss 6.0 server, and I have 4 different runtimes available.
Apache Axis
Apache Axis2
Apache CXF 2.x
JBossWS
Which runtime (framework) are you using under Netbeans?
Using JBossWS, I generated WS client classes from WSDL, and I'm using them in a maven Java EE 6 application, deployed to a JBoss 6.0, and it works perfectly, inside Eclipse and outside (deployed).

Creating web service client in Eclipse and NetBeans

I have web service created using .NET C#. I have generated web service using both NetBeans and Eclipse wizzards. In both cases web service clients are running but both clients has very different implementation. In NetBeans case i got to use many jar libraries like:
jax-qname.jar,
jaxrpc-api.jar,
jaxrpc-impl.jar,
jaxrpc-spi.jar
and others.
In Eclipse case I'm pushed to use less libs like:
jaxrpc.jar,
javax.wsdl_1.6.2.v201012040545.jar,
commons-discovery-0.2.jar,
org.apache.commons.logging_1.1.1.v201101211721.jar,
saaj.jar
For me Eclipse client looks nicer - it has less code generated and requires less libs. But which one is better? What kind of technologies the are using? And finally - can I create web service client without using any third party libs?

Tools for developing JAX-RPC WebService for WebSphere 7.0

I am new to web service development. I need to create a sample JAX-RPC application that can run on Web Sphere 7.0. I tried developing with eclipse Juno with WebSphere 7.0 Development tools plugin. When I try to create a service from a java bean eclipse does not show IBM jax-rpc runtime. It only shows jax-ws runtime from WebSphere and Apache Axis runtimes. Is there any other tool for developing Jax-rpc with websphere similar to tools for weblogic? If we can develop with eclipse or using command line tools what is the way to do? Any links to tutorials will be good.
As far as I remember; you can create JAX-RPC web service only on EJB projects and not on web projects. Or the other way around. Please try as I don't have access to RAD or WAS 7.
Kindly note that WAS 7 supports JAX-WS 2.1, which as Gas pointed out, is preferred to be used. For more details; kindly review WAS 7 info center's page

Running portable web services application server

I need portable container for running web services as server. JSON as a response. The server application must be able to start up using .bat script under Windows. Machine running the server must have only Java Runtime Enviroment installed, no other stuff required.
Axis2 on top of Tomcat do not seem like simple portable web server. What are the other alternatives?
UPDATE:
How come no one offered?
com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer;
and
com.sun.jersey.api.container.httpserver.HttpServerFactory;
Jetty is a good option.
Another very lightweight option is fluent-http.
I'm not that familiar with Axis2, but as far as I know you can use embedded tomcat to achieve this with whichever frameworks you please.
Take a look at the tomcat maven plugin which I believe will even generate your application as a jar containing embedded tomcat in the latest version.

Deploy a .net web service to Jboss server

I am trying to figure out how to deploy my WebService project to my running Jboss server. This seems to be a lot harder than it sounds. I can not find any tutorials or guides on how to do this.
I have tried to deploy the whole Web Service Application project as a .rar file via the administrator console but it gives an "unknown error". I am able to run the WebService on the developer webserver.
Is there any best practice or other lean way to deploy my webservice directly in Visual Studio?
I've also tried to publish the project through Visual Studio but the wizard says that localhost:8080 which is where my Jboss application server is running on, but it says that it doesnt exists.
Any suggestions on how to do this?
JBoss can only run applications that are compiled to JVM bytecode. A .NET application is using the CLR runtime, not the JVM.

Eclipse WTP, Axis 2 Web Service Client

I'm trying to build a web service and a client for this service. I'm using Eclipse 3.5.1 with axis2-1.4.1. I'm facing a problem:
I created the web service via the web service wizard and the service shows up in the axis service list. If I porint to the wsdl - its generated.
Now when I'm trying to build the client, I choose the wsdl, the client project and take the next button, well at the client web service configuration everything is empty. There is nor service name, no port name. Am I facing a bug? Anyoneelse faced something like this?
Regards
Well, so let me sum up:
The eclipse wizard seems buggy yes. It didn't show anything after the first step. What I've done? I created my stubs from the command line and WSDL2Java. The produced code works.
This problem occus with axis2-1.5.1 too, so no difference here.
I faced the same issue.
You can use Eclipse Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
Version: Helios Service Release 1
And Axis2-1.3. It creates the stub.
I'm using Juno and Axis2 1.6.2 and I'm getting the same problem - the WTP wizard just doesn't work for me.
I downloaded the Code Generator Wizard for Eclipse Plug-in and this produced the client code for me. Follow the link for more info on installation and use.
