title: Accessing API exposed via wsdl in spring REST based client
body: <p>How can we access a wsdl of a soap project whose war is deployed on the same server, by a Rest based project using spring maven.  Basically , I have to access an API that is exposed via wsdl and I have to access this API, the response than needs to be returned as json from a rest POST method. It will be like a REST post method, accepting the inputs and invoking this API (from wsdl) and manipulating the response as JSON,  </p>
  
  <p>I have to jump into the WebServices and Spring framework, without through knowledge. So, any help or directions to learn these things fast would be appreciated.</p>
