Just got over this myself. Try putting axis.jar and logxx.jar into tomcat's commom/lib folder.
Also, use tcpmon to forward your soap calls to port 8080 (if that is your tomcat port) and see what your request/response looks like. In my case, the reason I was getting the bad envelope namespace error was because tomcat was throwing an error, and axis was trying to parse it as xml.
