I don't suppose you have specific recommendations as far as this goes? I'm lost in a sea of libraries and options. As I mentioned, I'm trying to work against the MapPoint webservice, but I've had no luck in creating even the most basic client with axis2 against their wsdl.

Have you looked at wsdl2java? http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/user-guide.html#WSDL2JavaBuil...

wsdl2java has worked really well for any WSDL I've ever had to work against (consuming fairly rich both Java and .Net web services from Java).

Note that there's been a fair bit of resistance to Axis2, with a lot of people preferring to stay on 1. I believe they changed the entire team from 1 to 2.
