You can't. And there's no question that ECP is very little used. But that
isn't what I said, I said that the SOAP client code you're using is not
used by the project.

If you're under the impression that Shibboleth has an ECP client, it does
not. There is no use of SOAP client code in Java in the code base and we
deferred all work on doing anything that would require it in part because
we have no comprehensive client code yet to do it with. Which is not to
say anything ECP does requires a fancy client; it does not. In other
words, I would do it yourself or look for some other code to copy as I
pointed out.

All of those extra classes and abstractions you're using are just in your
way. The XML producing code alone is enough to give you the message you
need to send, you just need to write the code to send it.
