I think this should be similar to API versioning. APIs use the 
VersioningStrategy interface to determine how the version numbers are 
associated with individual APIs. The default implementation uses a URL-based 
strategy.

e.g. /context/1.0.0/foo/bar

You can take a similar approach for proxy services. May be we only need URL 
based versioning in the case of proxy services. Since proxy services deal with 
SOAP messages, I don't think other options make much sense. So we probably need 
something like:

/services/TestProxy/1.0.0

The main problem however is representing different versions of the same service 
in the SynapseConfiguration/AxisConfiguration. Axis2 supports something called 
hierarchical services (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYNAPSE-914). 
May be you can try to leverage that.

Thanks,
