The Eclipse WTP plugin is really nice for building web services (at least the 0.71 version, 1.0 is still buggy). It can be very confusing when you go to deploy to a standalone Tomcat server. The best way I have found so far is to manually create a directory in the axis directory in your Tomcat instance, then create the directories that match the package path of your service.
Then FTP the class files into the new directory, they will be in the directory:
{eclipse_location}\workspace\PerformanceDataService\.deployables\{project name)\WEB-INF\classes
Then FTP the deploy.wsdd and undeploy.wsdd to the same location.
If you look in the Eclipse generated deploy.wsdd file, the instructions for deployment are inside.

We have started using Axis 1.2 to build and deploy some web services. I am a little confused as to the actual deployment of our new web services. We are deploying inside Tomcat and have all of the necessary files in place to run.
Q. I am confused about the difference between server-config.wsdd and deploy.wsdd. We are using Eclipse and it seems that there is a deploy.wsdd for each service that we are offering. Are these automatically merged into the server-config.wsdd when the app starts or can I prebuild the server-config.wsdd and deploy it as part of our build process?
Q. Do I need the deploy.wsdd files?
Q. Is there a better/easier way to create these deployment descriptors? It seems the manual method is prone to errors.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide
