Axis implements SAAJ 1.1 and JAX-RPC 1.1.
Axis supports the generation of WS-I BP 1.1 compliant services, and it
can consume WS-I BP 1.1 compliant services.
Axis also implements SOAP 1.1 and WSDL 1.1 and SOAP 1.2.There are many
features of SOAP 1.1 that are not permitted by WS-I BP. Axis supports
those features because they are required by SOAP 1.1. WS-I BP does not
permit use of SOAP 1.2, but Axis does support it.
(WS-I BP is not a specification -- it's a usage profile)

I guess one could also add that Axis itself is implemented as a Java Servlet web
application, which should run almost on any Java-enabled web server such as
Tomcat Apache. This is a very powerful "feature" because it enables easy
deployment in many environments and actually very little J2EE functionality.
