William, You just derive your class loader from URLClassLoader and then substiture it when making calls to Axis engine and also derive your servlet do do the same for doPost/doGet relying the requests to AxisServlet. It works.
It is probably not a business of Axis to provide custom classloaders. -- Igor Sedukhin ..

It would be ideal if WSDD would include a jar attribute for specifying where the codebase of the service can be located. Your help appreciated.
