An easy way to create client stubs for a Web Service call in Java is to use the wsdl2java call from apache axis.

java org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java (MyWSDLFileOrURL)

While attempting to create Client Stubs for a Web Service call I received the following error.

Exception in thread "main" org.apache.axis2.wsdl.codegen.CodeGenerationException: Error parsing WSDL

The machine the service was hosted on was transforming requests to the domain name to the actual machine name.. or something along those line.

The fix was to download the wsdl file and edit the associated schemas within the WSDL that referenced the bad schema.

here is an arbitrary example.
before

<wsdl:types>
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/Imports">
<xsd:import schemaLocation="http://somerandomdomain.com/services/MyService.svc?xsd=xsd0" namespace="http://www.starstandards.org/webservices/2005/10/transport"/>
<xsd:import schemaLocation="http://somerandomdomain.com/services/MyService.svc?xsd=xsd1" namespace="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Honda.iN.LCC.Service"/>
<xsd:import schemaLocation="http://somerandomdomain.com/services/MyService.svc?xsd=xsd2" namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/"/>
</xsd:schema>
</wsdl:types>

After

<wsdl:types>
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/Imports">
<xsd:import schemaLocation="file:///c:/temp/axis2_test/service0.xsd" namespace="http://www.starstandards.org/webservices/2005/10/transport"/>
<xsd:import schemaLocation="file:///c:/temp/axis2_test/service1.xsd" namespace="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Honda.iN.LCC.Service"/>
<xsd:import schemaLocation="file:///c:/temp/axis2_test/service2.xsd" namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/"/>
</xsd:schema>
</wsdl:types>

Right now I am wresting with Axis, Java Web Services, Web Services Security and Micrsoft Foundation Class. I will post some pointers on this when the task is completed.
