Bryan, Apache SOAP services can be exposed via WSDL; there's just no WSDL-generating utilities in Apache SOAP that I know of. I deployed a service using Apache SOAP, then used the java2wsdl utility that's part of the freeware GLUE toolkit to generate WSDL for my Apache SOAP service. I was then able to connect to my service using .NET, Java, and Delphi.
Rumor has it that AXIS (the follow-on project to Apache SOAP) will include WSDL-generation utilities.
