not as hard as you think now that axis source is marked up to that Xdoclets
<webdoclet> can generate web.xml with the addins for axis. So include axis
and your webapp in <webdoclet> and all servlets, taglibs, etc, get included.

No. One problem Axis has is the need to work with servlet2.2 systems that
dont have lifecycle events, so it cant just hook in to those. Actually I may
add that stuff for the servlet2.3 and say 'upgrade'; the alternative is to
write a timer driven housekeeping thread and have many callbacks.
