When you send out the first request the server would spin up in the client
side and it will not die. Hence it will be used to listen for responses of
subsequent request.
In order to use a separate listener at the client side you just need to do
this,
stub._getServiceClient().engageModule("addressing");
stub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setUseSeparateListener(true);
Axis2 would handle everything else for you.
Thanks,
Keith.
