If SOAPService.getInitializedServiceDesc returns null, this would cause a NullPointerException where you are seeing one.
The chances are this is a class loading problem. Please double-check where you have placed the various classes. You could also search the axis-user archive (see http://xml.apache.org/axis/mail.html) to pick up any weblogic hints and tips, especially about installing jars in particular directories. I don't know what level of Axis build you're running, but you could try replacing SOAPService with the attached class. I added some extra diagnostics to log the exception when a class isn't found. Unfortunately, SOAPService has changed since beta 2, so if you're running beta 2, you may need to pick up a recent nightly build to get my version to run correctly as I'm not sure whether the changes made to SOAPService since beta 2 will run without corresponding changes elsewhere in Axis. I guess the easiest thing is to give it a shot and, if it produces diagnostics about which class is not being found, you should be able to narrow down the problem.
