If you actually want to understand how the software works, you'll need to read the source. This, of course, is not unique to Apache SOAP. For example, I read JDK source at least weekly to understand what is really happening in some method. Having the source available to read, rather than having to rely on possibly inaccurate documentation, is one of the things that originally attracted me to open source.
If you are making significant progress understanding Apache SOAP by reading the Java Doc, I am impressed. The use of JavaDoc is sporadic at best, and some places where it exists, it is just plain wrong. I have added and/or fixed some doc, but have not taken it on as a task to fully document the code.
