No and yes. I didn't build samples but I think I understand them.

That's the thing. I do not want to build service. I just want to use 
(consume) remote SOAP service from inside already running web 
application. All I need Axis2 to do for me is take my POJ convert to to 
SOAP, send, receive, convert back. Without setting up listening 
services, without Axis2 admin page etc. I used SOAP in other languages 
so I know how SOAP works. It's just I need to do it in JavaEE. I tried 
to use Apache CXF first but unfortunately SOAP service I have to use 
(and have no control over) uses wrong type of message encapsulating (the 
old unsupported one). So I turned to Axis2.

I intended to not use Axis2 as a separate WAR. I try to compile it 
together with the rest of my code to single WAR. So far I can see Axis2 
libraries included in my compiled WAR together with other libraries.

Yes.

No.

Probably not. Because I did not setup one yet. All I did is I included 
dependencies for Maven and one Axis2-generated java class in my working 
web app and after that my web app stopped working. This web app is 
unrelated to Axis2. By unrelated I mean it does some stuff for user 
already and it's working. It's just I need to use SOAP to use external 
service in the background.

I didn't configure Axis2 in any other way. That's why my question is 
about default behaviour of Axis2.

Once again (because it probably wasn't clear in my first post): I need 
fast, simple and lightweight way to use existing remote SOAP service. 
Just send some messages and get some response. No running services, no 
Axis admin pages, no hassle.

I have read a lot of documentation from Axis2 page and from other 
sources. Unfortunately it looks like my needs are not that popular. Most 
of docs are for people needing standalone desktop app consuming SOAP or 
for apps running in containers but also exposing services. And I need 
something in between.

Thanks for your answer. Sorry about my English, I am not a native speaker.
