OK. Slightly bizzarre use case, but OK. Basically, using SAAJ API instead
of JAX-WS. CXF doesn't implement SAAJ, we use SAAJ.

Nope. The above is PURELY in the realm of SAAJ. The SOAPConnectionFactory
thing is an SAAJ thing, not JAX-WS, and is thus provided by the SAAJ
implementation.

Well, depends on the goal. If ALL you want is a simple HTTP POST and not
worry about things like security and WS-A and such on that message (I assume
not if you are just using SAAJ API), then it might be easier to just use the
conduit directly. Take a look at:
api/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/transport/TransportURIResolver.java
as an idea. It works with the conduit directly for retrieving wsdl/schema
things. You may be able to do something similar.
