==== Apache Axis2 ====
Apache Axis2 is the third generation Web service framework of the Apache Web service stack.  A highly extensible message processing engine focused on SOAP messages, it includes plugins for services, transports, MessageReceivers, and Modules (message interceptors).

==== Kandula ====
Apache Kandula is an implementation of Web Services Coordination, Atomic Transaction and Business Activity protocols. The project provides implementations for both Apache Axis (kandula-1 branch) and Apache Axis2 (kandula-2 branch) platforms.

==== Apache Axis ====
Apache Axis is a web services framework implementing the W3C SOAP standard. 

==== Apache Woden ====

==== Apache jUDDI ====
jUDDI (pronounced "Judy") is an open source Java implementation of the Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) specification for Web Services.

==== Apache Rampart ====
Rampart provides the WS-Security and WS-SecureConversation support for Apache Axis2 using Apache WSS4J as the base. The configuration model uses the WS-Policy framework and supports WS-SecurityPolicy specification.  The "Rahas" module in Rampart implements the WS-Trust specification with a security token service implementation and a client API to carry out token exchanges with the security token service.

==== Apache Rampart/C ====
Apache Rampart/C is the security module for Apache Axis2/C. It's an effort to implement WS-Security Specification 1.0. Rampart/C also comes with an XML-Crypto library known as OMXMLSecurity. In addition Apache Rampart/C configurations are based on security policy assertions as per WS-Security Policy specification 1.1

==== Apache Sandesha2 ====
Sandesha2 is an implementation of WS-ReliableMessaging specifications for Apache Axis2. By using Sandesha2 you
can add reliable messaging capability to the Web services you have hosted in Axis2. You can also use Sandesha2
with Axis2 client to interact with already hosted web services in a reliable manner. 

==== Apache Sandesha2/C ====
Sandesha2/C is a C implementation of WS-ReliableMessaging specifications(both 1.0 and 1.1) for Apache Axis2/C projects.
Sandesha2/C is inter operable with Axis2/Java implementation and .net implementations. 

==== Apache Savan ====
Savan is a Publisher/Subscriber implementation for Apache Axis2. 

==== Apache Savan/C ====
Savan/C is a Publisher/Subscriber implementation for Apache Axis2/C projects written in C Language.

==== Apache Axis2/C ====

==== Apache WS-Commons ====
Apache WS-Commons is a collection of projects that are primarily used as parts of various WS projects but useful even outside the WS space. WS-Commons houses Apache Axiom - the streaming XML object model, Apache XmlSchema -  an object model to manipulate XML schema documents, Apache Neethi - the WS-Policy implementation and various other smaller projects such as tcpmon.

==== Apache Muse ====
Apache Muse is a Java implementation of WS-ResourceFramework, WS-Notification, and WS-DistributedManagement. It provides code generation tools and APIs that aid users in creating standards-compliant interfaces for manageable resources. Muse-based interfaces can be deployed in a J2EE or OSGi environment.

==== Apache XML-RPC ====
Apache XML-RPC is a Java implementation of XML-RPC, a popular protocol that uses XML over HTTP to implement remote procedure calls.
