Calling a Java service from an html page and javascript

Question

I am trying to call a Java implemented web service (using NetBeans IDE) from javascript. I read a lot about jQuery and AJAX, but I don't seem to understand it.

Suppose my WSDL web service is located at: http: // localhost: 8080 / MICE_Server / MapEditorService? WSDL

web method name: sayHello (string name), which returns a string.

how can i do this in javascript?

Thanks in advance for your help!

If you don't need to use jQuery, I think it would be easier to just use DWR here. You can call the webservice method from the base DWR method, which can be called from a java script. It is pretty easy to set up. They also have a good collection of tutorials on their website.
