How to do a call through a javax.xml.ws.Service

Question

Created a new standard java 7 project in Eclipse and have successfully managed to get an instance of a javax.xml.ws.Service like so:

  String wsdlURL = "http://example.com:3000/v1_0/foo/bar/SomeService?wsdl";
  String namespace = "http://foo.bar.com/webservice";
  String serviceName = "SomeService";
  QName serviceQN = new QName(namespace, serviceName);

  Service service = Service.create(new URL(wsdlURL), serviceQN);

This runs fine in a main method, so as far as I can see, that part works. But I can't figure out how to actually use it. In SoapUI I call this same service with a request which looks like the following:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:web="http://foo.bar.com/webservice">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <web:SomeWebServiceRequest acAccountName="name" acAccountPassword="password">
         <SomeRequest>
            <id>012345678901234</id>
            <action>Fix</action>
         </SomeRequest>
      </web:SomeWebServiceRequest>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

How can I do the same request in Java? My goal is that I have a long list of these ids, and I need to run a request like that for each of them. Doing it manually in SoapUI is a bit annoying, so I'd like to automate it with a simple Java console application.

Next step is to get Port from your service:

Service service = Service.create(new URL(wsdlURL), serviceQN); // this is where you are.
QName portQName = new QName(portNamespace, portName);
YourPortInterface port = service.getPort(portQName, YourPortInterface.class);

YourPortInteface will be generated during wsimport or you can create and annotate it by yourself if you have enough experience in "reading" wsdl.
