Difference between Apache CXF and Axis

Question

What are the advantages of using Apache CXF over Apache Axis and vice versa?

Answer 1

Another advantage of CXF: it connects to web servers using NTLMV2 authentication out of the box. (used by Windows 2008 & up) Before using CXF, I hacked Axis2 to use HTTPClient V4 + JCIFS to make this possible.
