If you are deploying the services for the first time then put your axis directory under tomcat's 'webapps' directory into a new jar file with an extension of '.war'. Then you can deploy this archive file to your production server using the Tomcat manager. If your services doesn't have external dependencies this should be enough for the services become available through the production server. To update the services later you can enable the "enableRemoteAdmin" option of the axis AdminService. However this has security risk and it may still require new versions of the service class files to be manually copied to the related directories on the production server. Therefore it seems that it might be the best strategy if you replace the whole axis application in the production server using the Tomcat manager when you have a new version of the services. The above suggestions are for axis1.x. Things should be much easier in axis2 as it has hot deployment support and a web based administration console.
