Apache Axis is a follow-up project for Apache SOAP. All development is done in the Axis project nowadays.

Hello "Suneesh",
Unfortunately your display name does not comply with the JavaRanch naming policy. You can change it here.
Thank you.

May I suggest you compare them yourself? I'm not trying to be rude but it's very common for one project to experience better performance using Apache SOAP and another project using Apache Axis. Axis claims to perform better than Apache SOAP but that doesn't seem to be true for all setups.
Take a look at these resources I gathered from a quick Google session:
