This wasn't a problem w/ Axis 1.0 RC1, but is w/ the released version.  It looks 
like the commons-discovery library that is bundled looks for 
javax/servlet/ServletContext when it issues a SOAP request (I'm using the Amazon 
Web Services code):

Should probably document what other .jar files are needed because ServletContext 
is not needed for Java client apps.  This problem probably doesn't show up if 
you use Axis on a Java web app server...
