Hi Shameera, Thanks for the response. I finally found a solution - the probably was not actually Axis2. The Magento server was making a localhost call for its WSDL - not Axis. Wireshark provided this out.
The other thing I noticed is Axis2 tries to do a POST of the SOAP call without the specified basic authentication and then it tries again with basic authentication. We removed authentication from the SOAP endpoint, and everything is fine now.

You can download wsdl for any service deployed in axis2 by using ?wsdl suffix eg: http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/Version?wsdl this will download wsdl of Version then you can give this to your client. Hope this will help you. Thanks, Shameera.

Is there a way to tell the client to use a local file or in-memory string for its WSDL instead of retrieving it from the server? The app in question is communicating with a Magento eCommerce server via its SOAP API, and the WSDL file is 390K, which is killing performance. The web server log shows the following, where the GET request is for the WSDL and the POST request is the actual SOAP call. 127.0.0.1 - - [26/Mar/2014:16:25:00 -0400] "GET /index.php/api/v2_soap/index/?wsdl=1 HTTP/1.1" 200 326089 127.0.0.1 - - [26/Mar/2014:16:25:00 -0400] "POST /index.php/api/v2_soap/index/ HTTP/1.1" 200 291 Any help is greatly appreciated!
