hi Prasanna,
I want to use Force.com Web Services API to create, retrieve, update, or delete records inForce.com from any external system that supports SOAP-based Web services using java.....
Plz tell me...
You will need to study the Integration docs:
You can consume Salesforce API's in many platforms/langs like .NET, Java, PHP, flex
Following link will provide you the docs as well as Sample codes: Integration
If you need quick start guide you can refer following sample code: Sample code
I have created a wrapper project on top of Java(Apache Axis) Web Service Stubs for all Salesforce WSDLs. The project is named "Tolerado" and here is the link to it http://code.google.com/p/tolerado-salesforce-web-services-client-wrappers/wiki/GettingStartedGuide
You can try playing with it, using Tolerado is for sure simpler then usual WSDL2java Apache Axis stubs.
Thanks for ur reply,
I was trying to do the following steps.

I. Step ->
Generate WSDL from Salesforce.com Site:
1. Login into the salesforce.com site.
2. Go to Setup AppSetup Develop API.
3. Right click on “Generate Enterprise WSDL” and save the target as
“SalesForce.wsdl”.
Now your WSDL file of salesforce.com site gets ready.
II. Step ->
Create Stubs in Eclipse using Axis2 Tool: :
Note: Make sure to configure Axis2 plug in your Eclipse environment.
Page 3 of 10
1. File New Other Dynamic Web Project Create a project.(Eg:
SalesforceStubs)
2. Download Axis 2 Libraries from Apache Axis site and import those into the
current project.
3. Goto Project Menu properties java Build path libraries Add Library
User Library User Libraries New Add library name and libraries from
Axis 2 which we are downloaded. Ok.
4. Right Click on Project name New Other Axis2 Wizards Axis2 Code
Generator Next.
Page 4 of 10
5. Select Generate Java Source Code from WSDL file click Next.
6. Browse the wsdl file which you generated earlier from salesforce.com site and
then click Next.
Page 5 of 10
7. Select Custom in “Codegen option” and select “Generate Both with all classes for
every elements on schemas” check box and Click on Next.
Page 6 of 10
8. Select the output path location and click on Finish.
Then we have several packages with .java files in the java resources part of the project.
For example we can get the following packages.
com.sforce.soap.enterprise
com.sforce.soap.enterprise.fault
com.sforce.soap.enterprise.sobject
III. Step ->
Creating a Client Program to connect to Sales Force:
// SforceServiceStubClient.java
package com.sforce.soap.enterprise.client;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import org.apache.axis2.AxisFault;
import com.sforce.soap.enterprise.client.util.SforceLoginUtil;

public static void main(String[] args) {
String username="xxxxxxxx";
String token="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
String tokenPassword="xxxxxxxxx"+token;
try{
LoginResult loginResult = SforceLoginUtil.loginToSalesForce(username,
tokenPassword);
Page 7 of 10
SessionHeader sessionHeader = new SessionHeader();
sessionHeader.setSessionId(loginResult.getSessionId());
SforceServiceStub stub = new SforceServiceStub(loginResult.getServerUrl());
System.out.println("Connected to SF with the URL: " +
loginResult.getServerUrl());
Query query = new Query();
query.setQueryString("select Id, Name from Account");
QueryResponse queryResponse = stub.query(query,sessionHeader,null,null,null);
QueryResult queryResult=queryResponse.getResult();
System.out.println("Query has " + queryResponse.getResult().getSize() + "
records total");
SObject[] sObjects = queryResult.getRecords();
System.out.println("Account Details:");
System.out.println("----------------------------------------");
System.out.println("Account id Name");
System.out.println("----------------------------------------");
for (int i = 0; i < sObjects.length; i++) {
Account sObject = (Account) sObjects[i];
System.out.println("["+ sObject.getId() + "][" +
sObject.getName() + "]");
}
}

} // end of method
} // end of class
IV. Step
Run the Client Program
Run the program SforceServiceStubClient.java.
Sample Output:
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger
(org.apache.axis2.description.AxisService).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
