I hope someone else on this list has maintained a more current knowledge of the market than I. The Java alternatives I am familiar with are WASP (http://www.systinet.com) and GLUE (http://www.themindelectric.com). These seem like very nice products and have what appear to be reasonable licensing schemes. Also, what might have been Apache SOAP 3.x is called Axis (http://xml.apache.org/axis/index.html). This is still in alpha, but there is (or at least was) the intention of including some sort of proxy generation from WSDL.
I took a quick look at Castor (http://castor.exolab.org/), and it sounds like more-or-less what you need to generate Java from XSD. I do not know where Castor stands with respect to Sun's Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB: http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxb/index.html), but I don't know that it matters for what you need to do. Also, something I did not mention is that if your Java classes are beans, you can use the Apache SOAP BeanSerializer to serialize/deserialize, rather than implementing Serializer and/or Deserializer in your classes.
