Some questions repeatedly crop up -- and perhaps the Axis documentation and code needs to change as a consequence.
However, you can sometimes get a quick answer to your question by searching the archive and it seems that not everyone is aware of how to do this. I use [1] for searching axis-user and [2] for axis-dev. (For instance, entering Tomcat into the search box of [1] turns up a number of examples of people finding Tomcat cannot load certain classes if they put axis.jar in the WEB-INF directory, together with explanations and solutions.)
