How can I integrate categorized content from an external web service into Joomla 1.5?

I'm working on a Joomla 1.5 site where products and categories come from a SOAP web service. The navigation starts by with selecting a category of products. These categories and products come from the web service. After selecting a category the web service returns a list of products. From there the user can select a product and it must open a page with that product's details. These products and categories do not have to be content items within the Joomla admin, they just need to be a part of the frontend site.An example of the navigation using the same web service is here. I already have the classes and code needed to get the products from the web service, however I'm quite unsure how to make it fit in Joomla. I'm a beginner when it comes to Joomla component development. Is anyone aware of any bridges or similar components that work in a same way?
