title: Calling an Apache Axis 1 web service from Apache CXF
body: <p>I'm trying to call an Apache Axis 1 web service from a client using CXF but coming across this issue:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/412772/java-rpc-encoded-wsdls-are-not-supported-in-jaxws-2-0">java: Rpc/encoded wsdls are not supported in JAXWS 2.0</a></p>
  
  <p>Now although switching the client would solve this problem my client is running inside Osgi and axis1 doesn't play nice.</p>
  
  <p>My idea was to write a web service in either CXF or Axis2 -- so I can call it from my client -- and then use that as a proxy to call into the Axis1 web service.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone done anything this like before? Or can anyone suggest any other approaches?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
