Hi Erwin,

Axis2 can act as a client and/or a server, the two endpoints in a message
exchange, without any problem. Axis2 has all the capabilities to work as an
intermediary also, but it just that you have to do some amount of work to
get it working the way you want.

Synapse is all about mediation and meant to be act as an intermediary. So
Synapse had done the above mentioned part already. I always think Axis2 as
the client/ultimate receiver vs Synapse as the intermediary for a good
application.

Intermediaries are somewhat common these days. For example, a company might
decided to get all the messages to one node and then route to different
internal hosts, applying some policies. Or even might wanna log all the
messages. There are lots of samples like this.
