Hi Tori,

If you are using Apache axis to create your web service, then I think a 
new WSDL file would be generated in the WebContent/wsdl folder that has 
the correct endpoint address to send SOAP messages to.

The WSDL file should have a service element that looks like this:
<wsdl:service name="AccountEventHandler">
    <documentation xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/";>Interface 
definition for a client hosted web service to receive notification of 
account events. Click here for a &lt;a 
href="https://www.esendex.com/secure/registration/evaluation.aspx"; 
title="SMS Service Trial"&gt;free trial&lt;/a&gt;.</documentation>
    <wsdl:port binding="tns:AccountEventHandlerSoap" 
name="AccountEventHandlerSoap">
      <soap:address 
location="http://localhost:8080/MyService/services/AccountEventHandlerSoap"/>
    </wsdl:port>
  </wsdl:service>

(http://localhost:8080/MyService/services/AccountEventHandlerSoap is my 
endpoint URL).


You can use the web services explorer to test this WSDL and send 
messages to your endpoint.
