This section describes client side programming class, org.apache.axis2.client.ServiceClient, which represents a single Web service with a specific port. ServiceClient allows you to invoke operations defined in the service.

The easiest way to learn Axis2 client side programming is to start with the org.apache.axis2.client.ServiceClient class.

org.apache.axis2.client.ServiceClient is an Axis2 class that provides you client access to a service. Each instance of this class is associated with a particular AxisService instance, and the methods support operations using that service. Options instances are used to configure various aspects of the service access.
