How to test a webservice / WSDL

I have generated this WSDL file...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<!-- Generated by JAX-WS RI at http://jax-ws.dev.java.net. RI's version is JAX-WS RI 2.1.6 in JDK 6. -->

    <operation name="addTwoInts">

      <input>
        <soap:body use="literal"/>
      </input>
      <output>
        <soap:body use="literal"/>
      </output>
    </operation>
    <operation name="multiplyTwoFloats">
      <soap:operation soapAction=""/>
      <input>

      </output>
    </operation>
  </binding>
  <service name="MathServicesService">
    <port name="MathServicesPort" binding="tns:MathServicesPortBinding">
      <soap:address location="REPLACE_WITH_ACTUAL_URL"/>
    </port>
  </service>
</definitions>

from this class...

package math;

import javax.jws.WebService;

@WebService
public class MathServices {

    public int addTwoInts(int int1, int int2){
        return int1+int2;
    }

    public float multiplyTwoFloats(float float1, float float2){
        return float1 * float2;
    }
}

How can I test to see if this webservice is working properly using the WSDL? I don't understand how the functionality (int1+int2 and float1*float2) translates to the XML. All I see in the WSDL are what translate to method names and parameter names. I don't see where the math goes on. :/

That said, where do the parameters come from when using the webservice? How do you even use the webservice? Can I just use it through my browser?
