Hi, I would recommend you use AXIS. Given the lead time on getting your book published, AXIS should be hopefully be ready for production use when your book hits the stores.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that if I was going to the store six months from now to buy a web services book, and I saw one using Apache SOAP and one using AXIS, I would buy the AXIS one.
