3.  Ensure the web service is running, and then run the project. This should generate the necessary files for creating a client.

PKIX path building error:
IF there is a PKIX path building failed: SunCertPathBuilderException then most likely the web services security
certificate has not been added to Java's cacerts file (file of trusted websites).
The solution is described in the below website.[http://magicmonster.com/kb/prg/java/ssl/pkix_path_building_failed.html]

4.  Create a main method

/*\*
 \* Simple sample of main method, it queries the web service for the closest observed holiday to January 1st, 2012.
 */
public static void main(String\[\] args) throws MalformedURLException {

HolidayService service = new HolidayServiceLocator();
Calendar newYears = Calendar.getInstance();

// Error with Calendar in that if you don't set hours, minutes, and seconds to zero date could be wrong on web service side, leading to wrong queries.
newYears.set(Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.YEAR), Calendar.JANUARY, 1, 0, 0, 0);

try \{

Holiday closest = service.getHolidayServicePort().getClosestHoliday(newYears, true, true);     String name = closest.getDescription();      assert("New Year's Day".equals(name));    }

catch (Exception e) \{

System.out.println(e.toString());   }

}
