Assuming you're having trouble finding axis classes ...
Try running with jdk 1.4.0 and using
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=axis/lib
in jdk invocation. You may not want to do this, but
unfortunately axis is trying to be standards compliant and
hence requires use of javax.blat classes, but those same
classes are blocked by servlet container from being picked
up in WEB-INF/lib. Rumors are next release of tomcat
may solve this problem someway. Also possible that
jdk X.X comes with all of the core pieces internally.
If you're having trouble finding regular classes then
you need to spec version of tomcat you tested with.
Current 4.0.3 is servlet spec 2.3 which should honor
WEB-INF/lib jars. However JRun 3.0 is, I believe,
servlet spec 2.2 which has a different set of rules
for finding classes.
For what it's worth --- avoid servlet spec 2.2
and prior containers like the plague. 2.3 supports
better class loader behavior with webapps.
