Axis is roughly "Apache SOAP 3.0". It supports SOAP 1.1, WSDL 1.1, DIME, JAX-RPC and SAAJ. It will support future versions of SOAP and WSDL, and may support JAXM. Features will continue to be added. Axis is the code that IBM, Macromedia and others will integrate into their future commercial products.
Apache SOAP supports SOAP 1.1 and SOAP with Attachments. It will not support WSDL, JAX-RPC or JAXM. In the near term, it will be a more stable code base than Axis, and it will continue to be very backward compatible at the application source code level with previous versions of Apache SOAP. As such, it will be attractive to people and organizations that need this stability or compatibility. Long term, it is expected that all Apache SOAP users will migrate to Axis or perhaps another implementation that supports JAX-RPC and/or JAXM.
