First, some definitions: Apache SOAP and Apache Axis are SOAP implementations. They are both toolkits that allow you to write applications that communicate using SOAP. SAAJ is a standard Java API for communicating using SOAP. In order to use SAAJ, you must use a SOAP implementation that implements the SAAJ API.
Apache SOAP is not an active project anymore. New development on this project stopped in 2002. It has interoperability challenges, and it does not support the latest SOAP standards. For example, it does not support SAAJ, JAX-RPC, WSDL, and WS-I. You should not use Apache SOAP for new applications. Apache SOAP has been superceded by Apache Axis. Apache Axis implements SAAJ and JAX-RPC. It also supports WSDL, WS-I, WS-Security, and lots of additional features. See http://ws.apache.org/axis.
