There are quite a few tools that can generate WSDL from a Java class.
You can find IBM's Web Services Toolkit here:
http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/webservicestoolkit

My personal recommendation is WASP Developer, which is available as
a plug-in for JBuilder, NetBeans, and Eclipse. The tools are free.
You can download the JBuilder and NetBeans plug-ins from here:
http://www.systinet.com/products/tools/index.html
The Eclipse plug-in (still in beta) is available from here:
http://www.systinet.com/eap/eclipse/index.html

WASP also provides command line tools, which you'll find in the /bin
directory of the WASP Server installation. The free version is here:
http://www.systinet.com/products/wasp_lite/index.html
The commercial version is here:
http://www.systinet.com/products/wasp_advanced/index.html

I also suggest your read this tutorial on SOAP interoperability:
