We have succeeded in solving this problem: it was necessary to hand-edit the
generated Stub file
and disable the REST style access to web services:
addPropertyToOperationClient(_operationClient,org.apache.axis2.Constants.Configuration.ENABLE_REST,false);
This turned off the option which caused Axis2 to send the payload in the
HTTP header (which corresponds to the REST style) to the traditional mode,
in which the payload was sent in the request body in the XML form.
