Hi Frank; Have you gone through the Axis2 User Guide? I think it would give you more insight into Axis2. Please find some of my humble thoughts bellow.

You can deploy the axis2.war on any other servlet container (eg.Geronimo) & work as you would work on Tomcat. But there can be some version compatibility issues.But it works with geronimo for sure. > I am currently starting to work on a web service > application which the web server is hosted on TOMCAT > and the client is using AXIS to parse WSDL and making > SOAP/http calls et cetera.
