add SOAP Response SOAP MEP support
----------------------------------

         Key: AXIS2-311
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-311
     Project: Apache Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
        Type: New Feature
  Components: transports  
    Reporter: Sanjiva Weerawarana
    Priority: Minor


SOAP 1.2 defines a *SOAP MEP* called SOAP Response. See: 
http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-soap12-part2-20020626/#soapresmep.
NOTE: SOAP MEPs are different from WSDL MEPs .. and Axis2's concept of MEP is a 
WSDL 2.0 MEP, not a SOAP MEP!

SOAP Response is basically a way to do be able to do a regular HTTP GET and 
have the response be a SOAP envelope yet for the whole exchange to appear as a 
SOAP exchange as far as the client is concered. Glen should be able to give us 
more info on the subtleties .. this was a particularly sensitive topic in the 
SOAP 1.2 group as it was viewed as a way to bridge between the WS world and the 
REST world.

With the recently committed HTTP POST/GET capability for IRI-styled operations 
(see WSDL 2.0 for this terminology), we should be able to do this quite 
trivially.
