/**
 * @defgroup axis2_svc_client service client
 * @ingroup axis2_client_api
 * The service client interface serves as the primary client
 * interface for consuming services. You can set the options to be
 * used by the service client and then invoke an operation on a given
 * service. There are several ways of invoking a service operation,
 * which are based on the concept of a message exchange pattern
 * (MEP). The two basic MEPs supported by service client are out-only
 * and out-in. Each MEP can be used in either blocking or
 * non-blocking mode. The operation invocations using the service
 * client API are based on the XML-in/XML-out principle: both the
 * payload to be sent to the service and the result from the service
 * are in XML, represented in AXIOM.
