The Axis team is currently debating about a release plan of Apache Axis C++ version 1.0. So if everything goes well we will see a pure C++ version of Apache Axis in November 2003.
Here is a list of the planned features for this release:

Major features of Axis/C++ include:  
 - SOAP engine with both client and server support
 - Partial support for both SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2
 - WSDD based deployment with dynamic deployment tools. 
 - Support for all basic types, Complex types and Arrays
 - WSDL2WS tool for building following C/C++ components
    - Server side - Skeletons and Wrappers
    - Client side - Stubs
 - WSDL2WS tool that generates wrappers, which perform the following functions. These wrappers act as RPC Providers:
   - Serialization
   - Deserialization
   - Method invocation
 - WSDLs hosted statistically in the server.
 - Standalone server (with HTTP support) 
 - Web server modules for Apache HTTPD 1.3 (Linux/Windows)
 - Web interface to the deployed services and their WSDLs.
 - Sample web services and client applications.
 - Supportive documentation for developers and users.
