The reason is that the MessageContext has an AxisEngine member, not an
AxisServer member.

Say I'm a service (ProxyService, for instance) and I want to make a
ServiceClient to make an outcall.  I can either do:

ServiceClient client = new ServiceClient(url,
msgContext.getAxisEngine().getClientEngine());

or

ServiceClient client = new ServiceClient(url,
((AxisServer)msgContext.getAxisEngine()).getClientEngine());

The former just seemed a bit cleaner to me, is all :-)

If you call getClientEngine() on a client, it just returns this, so it
still works fine.

If you want to change it, feel free.
Cheers!
