Hi Alek,

I took a look at 
http://www.extreme.indiana.edu/viewcvs/~checkout~/xsul/sample_decoder/src/decoder/client/DecoderClient.java
but it seems to require a stub class. Since I want to write a client to invoke 
_any_ webservice, i don't see how i can use this because I cannot generate a 
stub in advance.

Would it be possible to do something like this:

WSIFClient wsc = WSIFRuntime.newClient(wsdlLoc);
// find the default bound operation
Operation operation = wsc.findOperation(operName);
if (operation == null) {
	System.out.println("Operation "+operName+" is not available.");
}
operation.addInput(inputName, inputNode);
operation.call();
for (Part p : operation.getOutput()) {
	System.out.println(p.name()+": "+p.xmlNode());
}

Also I don't want to do any XML Schema validation initially. I just want to 
read a WSDL, find a bound operation, specify it's input as XML nodes, call 
the operation and process the ouput and faults. The input parts need to be 
specified as nodes, not elements, because e.g. a part of type xs:string is 
not an element.

Which module of xsul2 should I obtain to write only such a client?

Best regards,
Jos
