If you do not have considerable time invested in this and do not have services running in production, I highly recommend you change to Axis now. Apache SOAP is best for people who have already made a significant commitment.
You will want to use the 1.1 version of Axis at http://ws.apache.org/axis/download.cgi. The binary distribution is best for most users. The source distribution requires that you build Axis yourself. It is most useful if you are the type of user who wants to investigate bugs or make modifications on your own, or if you find the API documentation incomplete and want to use the source to fill the gaps.
Personally, I started Apache SOAP using both. The binaries are what I deployed, and the source was useful for going beyond the documentation to understand what was really happening under the covers.

If you do not have existing Apache SOAP code, you should definitely use Axis. Here are some reasons.
1. The Apache SOAP project has almost no active development, and has not had a new release in years.
2. Axis supports more web services specifications and intends to implement new ones as they come up. Right now, the most important of the implemented specifications is WSDL 1.1, which is critical to smooth interoperability. It also implements JAX-RPC, meaning other Java implementations supporting that spec can be interchanged with it, DIME, which makes its attachments interoperable with Microsoft, and HTTP 1.1.
3. As partially covered in point 2, Axis has more extensive interoperability with other SOAP implementations.

Subject: Apache SOAP VS Apache AXIS
Hi,
I'm at the beginning of a software project in which I'm planning to
include support for SOAP messages in an application with intensive typed data interchange. I've been reading the FAQs and documentation available and
all of them seem to be quiet sympathetic with apache soap's follow-on project
Apache AXIS. I understand the why of this in general terms, but I was wondering
if someone with more experience than me (I'm a newbie to be honest) can
still find advantages in using apache SOAP and not axis.
Thanks,
Cali
