<p>I'm trying to use some data from a PlanPlusOnline account.  They only provide a java web services API.  The server for the site where the data will be used does not allow me to install Tomcat (edit: or a JVM for that matter).  I'm not going to lie, I am a Java software engineer, and I do some web work on the side.  I'm not familiar with web services or servlets, but I was willing to give it a shot.  I'd much rather they have JSON access to the data, but as far as I know they don't.  Any ideas?</p>

<p>EDIT: to clarify.   The web service provided by planplusonline is Java based.  I am trying to access the data from this web service without using Java.  I believe this is possible now, but I need to do more research.  Anyone who can help point me in the right direction is appreciated.</p>

Are you trying to implement a client to a web service hosted somewhere else?  If so, Java's not necessary.  You can do web service clients in
.NET
,
PHP
,
Ruby
, or pretty much any modern web technology out there.  All you need is a WSDL document to provide metadata about how to invoke the services.
