Hi Justin, Download the ClassLocator utility [1], and install it both in your Axis webapp and in some other webapp where SSL is working correctly.
Go to the webapp where things are working, and surf to ClassLocator.jsp and enter "COM.rsa.jsafe.y" see where the class is being loaded from. Then go to ClassLocator in your Axis webapp and load some working class (e.g. your service class) to see what is different.

Any ideas?
