Apache SOAP and Axis future
This has probably been asked before, but I can;t find it.
What are the strategic differences between Apache Soap and Apache Axis? And
will you converge, discontinue or ... ?

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.
