There can be many types of differences between XML documents which are
not considered to be significant (whitespace, prefixes used for
namespaces, etc.), so if by "exactly identical" you mean the same exact
sequence of characters the answer is very likely "no". If you mean
they'll be equivalent XML documents, the answer is still very likely
"no" in the case of the WSDL, since Axis2 uses very different code from
Axis 1.4 to generate the WSDL and many aspects of the WSDL are arbitrary
(message names, etc.). For the actual SOAP message you're more likely to
have equivalent XML documents, but even here there's room for
differences without either implementation being in error (skipping an
element vs. including it with xsi:nil='true' when the schema has both
minOccurs="0" and nillable="true", for instance).
