/**
 * Set up a jaxws client with less effort.
 * Originally, I couldn't work out how to get spring/jaxws to reference a local wsdl file that was actually inside a jar.
 * And then, because I was damn sick of having to go and look up hardcoded strings from the wsdl just to copy into the config,
 * I decided to just read the damn wsdl and suck up the necessary blobs myself.
 *
 * No guarantees that this will work on all wsdls, but most people use the wsdl: prefix right?
 * Now, the only _required_ parameters are, localWsdlName and serviceInterface! whee.
