I have a WSDL file (or, more precisely, its URL). I need to convert it to Java classes. I also need to provide tests for the web service it describes. I'm new to web services, so could someone tell me how to convert WSDLs to Java?
I use Eclipse JEE Kepler. Maybe there are some plugins to do this automatically?

If you would like to parse a WSDL file to generate java classes, you can use the wsimport tool. This 'wsimport' tool comes with the JDK (Java Development Kit) and resides in the JDK bin directory.
For this I will use Eclipse, but make sure you have Eclipse Java EE for Web Developers edition. First thing we need to create a project to contain the WSDL document. It does not matter what kind of project we create. Then in the workbench, click File -> New -> Other and select Web Services -> WSDL. Click Next.
How to generate java client classes from WSDL. To generate the client classes will use wsimport tool. This tool will parse a WSDL file and all required files for web service client to access the published web services. This tool is available in the JDK installation folder: $JDK/bin.
In Eclipse Kepler it is very easy to generate Web Service Client classes,You can achieve this by following steps. RightClick on any Project->Create New Other ->Web Services->Web Service Client->Then paste the wsdl url(or location) in Service Definition->Next->Finish You will see the generated classes are inside your src folder.
WSDL stands for W eb S ervices D escription L anguage. The WSDL is an abstract definitions of ports and messages, being separated from the concrete implementation. Using this model to define the service allows the reuse of these definitions and also will allow to implement server and client independently.

NOTE :Without eclipse also you can generate client classes from wsdl file by using wsimport command utility which ships with JDK.
