 From the Synapse/ESB side Axis1 service is just an endpoint, so we 
already support this feature (ESB+Axis1 endpoint with RM and Sec engaged).

At the same time, we can let the users deploy Axis1 services in to 
Synapse/ESB as a proxy service (in Synapse) by using this custom 
deployer. (Should be post 1.0)
