You can use Aegis as a client to talk to Aegis, by using the very same Java classes and configuration files in the client environment that you use on the server. However, it's not all that practical to use Aegis as a client to talk to some a service using some other data binding, since Aegis lacks a 'wsdl2java' tool.

Using Aegis on the client side also carries severe risks of compatibility problems. Since there is no WSDL to specify the contract, small changes in your code or in CXF can result in a situation where the client and the server are incompatible. If you want to use Aegis on the client side, you should be sure to use exactly the same version of CXF on both sides. If you cannot do that, you should consider generating JAX-WS/JAX-B code for the client using wsdl2java.

Every CXF service and client uses a front end: JAX-WS, Simple, etc. Each of these provides a place to configure the data binding, both in Spring and via Java code.
