No Java thing should ever have a concept of 'home directory'.
The closest thing that some products have is an environment variable
("ANT_HOME", "JAVA_HOME") that it uses to find its installation.
I don't think Axis needs such a thing. Any paths like that should be
configured by properties either provided to the JVM or from the WSDD
file.
Note that Axis 1.x has a (complex!) system using commons-discovery of
allowing things to be overridden in various ways. While I was opposed
to this during 1.0 development (complex!), I have since seen the error
of my ways and have taken advantage of this system many times when
embedding Axis in our products.
