When generating the jar via WSDL I see the fields are present on the custom object.
(e.g. MyCustomObj__c, field MyField__c), but when I generate the JAR (via the WSC tool) the resulting jar's does not allow access to this field.

e.g. I can do MyCustomObj__c obj = new MyCustomObj__c(); but obj.getMyField__c() is not defined.

(I'm using the Enterprise WSDL v34.0 and WSC 34.2.0, which are the latest as of time of writing)

How can I access this custom field?

I dont think obj.getMyField__c() is valid method. What are you looking to achieve using that method ? –  Amit Bangad Jul 20 at 12:47
    
I want to access (get & set) the value of the custom field –  Nadav Greenberg Jul 20 at 14:00

To get field you would do something like that

// Java code
SObject contact = record; // Queried record by SOAP query method
Object firstName = contact.getField("FirstName");
Object lastName = contact.getField("LastName");
Object customfield = contact.getField( "My_Custom_Field__c");

unfortunately the method "getField" does not seem to exist in the JAR generated from the Enterprise WSDL. This is what I get: –  Nadav Greenberg Jul 20 at 13:55

That was a silly one - IntelliJ referred to a JAR that was generated with the WSDL prior to the creation of the custom object and its fields, thus couldn't find the relevant methods.

Once I cleared its caches and referred to updated JAR it works as expected:

To access the custom fields, as expected, obj.getMyField__c(); works just fine.

While the partner wsdl is coded using the generic SObject with getField() & setField(), the enterprise wsdl should generate classes for your actual objects and fields in your org.

Instead you would use obj.getFieldName().
