【1】MEP简介
MEP是Message Exchange Patterns的缩写，意思是”信息交换模式”。
消息交换模式（Message Exchange Pattern：MEP）在SOA中是一个重要的概念。MEP定义了参与者进行消息交换的模板，这是一个很抽象的定义。实际上我们可以这样理解MEP：消息交换模式（MEP）代表一系列的模板，它们定义了消息的发送者和接收者相互进行消息传输的次序。消息交换模式包括：数据报模式（Datagram）、请求/回复模式（Request/Reply）和双工模式（Duplex）。
在Axis2中使用不同的MEP来处理不同的信息交换格式。
【2】MEP具体分类
Axis2目前提供了如下8个MEP，具体体现在org.apache.axis2.description.WSDL2Constants接口中。
MEP_URI_IN_ONLY = "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/in-only"; MEP_URI_ROBUST_IN_ONLY = "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/robust-in-only"; MEP_URI_IN_OUT = "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/in-out"; MEP_URI_IN_OPTIONAL_OUT = "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/in-opt-out"; MEP_URI_OUT_ONLY = "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/out-only"; MEP_URI_ROBUST_OUT_ONLY = "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/robust-out-only"; MEP_URI_OUT_IN = "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/out-in"; MEP_URI_OUT_OPTIONAL_IN = "http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/out-opt-in";

【3】MEP在Axis2-services.xml中使用
<service name="AxisSpringService"> <description>AxisSpringService</description> <parameter name="SpringBeanName"> myServiceImpl </parameter> <parameter name="ServiceObjectSupplier"> org.apache.axis2.extensions.spring.receivers.SpringServletContextObjectSupplier </parameter> <!-- 在这里，添加mep配置 --> <operation name="sayHello"> <messageReceiver mep="https://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-out" class="org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCMessageReceiver" /> </operation> </service>
第一个MEP表示有返回值的webservice方法，第二个表示没有返回值。
通过messageReceiver 元素可以配置全局的mep和局部的mep。全局的mep可以通过messageReceivers元素配置，其下可以有多个messageReceiver 子元素。
全局配置如下：
<messageReceivers> <messageReceiver mep="https://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-out" class="org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCMessageReceiver" /> <messageReceiver mep="https://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-only" class="org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCInOnlyMessageReceiver" /> </messageReceivers>
除此之外还可以使用operation元素为某个webservice方法单独指定mep，如上面例子中就是该种方式。
如果为webservice指定了不正确的mep，客户端在调用该方法时会抛出异常。
通常建议在项目中使用全局配置，这样不用为每个方法单独进行配置。
