ServiceGen is an utility to generate a client module to access a web service hosted by BEA WLS.

This example use a generated client to call the function list of a Web Service. 

import com.company.webservices.client.Commonwebservices;
import com.company.webservices.client.CommonwebservicesPort;
import com.company.webservices.client.Commonwebservices_Impl;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String ... args) throws Exception{
        System.setProperty("weblogic.webservice.verbose", "true");
        String wsdlUri = "http://server.company.local/wsdl/commonWS.xml";
        Commonwebservices ws = new Commonwebservices_Impl(wsdlUri);
        CommonwebservicesPort wsp = ws.getcommonwebservicesPort("myusername", "mypassword");
        String list = wsc.list();
        System.out.println(list);
    }
}
A typical output : 

URL        :  http://server.company.local:80/commonWS/commonwebservices

If you need authentication to access the WSDL then it's possible to do something like this : 
  String wsdlUri = 
    "http://myusername:mypassword@server.company.local/commonWS/commonwebservices?WSDL";
