Connection refused

solution: Customize a HttpClient that disable the retry for the Axis2 stub.

MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager manager = new MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager();
HttpMethodRetryHandler retry_handler = new DefaultHttpMethodRetryHandler(0, false);
HttpClientParams params = new HttpClientParams();
params.setParameter(HttpMethodParams.RETRY_HANDLER, retry_handler);
options.setProperty(HTTPConstants.CACHED_HTTP_CLIENT, new HttpClient(params, manager));
options.setProperty(HTTPConstants.REUSE_HTTP_CLIENT, true);
