If you are using the Eclipse IDE, the JavaEE perspective provides a suitable environment for developing web services and their clients.

Right-click the Project Explorer > New > Other > Web Service Client.

The Web Service Client window should appear. In the 'Service Definition' box, paste the WSDL file. If the file is valid, you should be able to create a client application where you will be able to call and execute the appropriate methods.
