I also have some strange problems. It seems to be a little bit related. I am using tomcat 1.4.1 and axis 1.0.
If I don't place the servlet.jar in my path, I cannot run the deploy tool. It gives me an NoClassDefFoundError: javax....HttpServlet. If I place the HttpServlet in the CP then no problem... Is it OK to be this way? (no mentioning the servlet.jar or the other ones that contains http.HttpServlet class in the docs).
