As gSoap does more than what is proposed here - that should be the standard metric.
First I would make sure if the axis c++ client can talk to gsoap server at it's current level
of implementation - stl usage, DIME(streaming), and perhaps ws_security - by the time
the stable 1.0 of your release is ready.

That is good news, but I wonder why SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2 are not fully supported? Also you don't mention MEPs such as one-way and async. Do you plan to support polymorphism (e.g. Apache Axis map)? Attachments?
Note that gSOAP (SourceForge and soon: Debian) is already stable and provides more features. It supports both SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2. It serializes native C and C++ data types as well (including STL and polymorphism), so no hassle with conversion and/or mappings. Actually, gSOAP is more XML-centric than SOAP-centric as it provides more generic compiler-based XML encoding. No offense, but I am just wondering if this release announcement is not taking us a step back.
