Let me add to this that there's a *lot* of recent work going into improving the Axis2 code base, and it looks like the next major Axis2 release will include greatly improved WS-Security/WS-SecurityPolicy support - so don't take the rating in my article as necessarily reflective of the long-term usability of the stacks.
