Simple setup notes for NetBeans users of Axis:

[Mike Klein]

You want to go into Tools->Options->IDE Configuration->System->Object 
Types->XML Objects and add wsdd and wsdl as XML instance types.

Additionally (already in docs)...for Axis and Tomcat ant integration:

   <!-- For Axis Tasks -->
   <path id="axis.classpath">
       <fileset dir="${axis.home}/lib">
           <include name="**/*.jar"/>
       </fileset>
   </path>
   <taskdef resource="axis-tasks.properties" 
classpathref="axis.classpath"/>

   <!-- For Tomcat Tasks -->
   <path id="tomcat.classpath">
       <fileset dir="${tomcat.home}/server/lib"
           includes="catalina-ant.jar" />
   </path>
   <taskdef name="install" 
classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.InstallTask" 
classpathref="tomcat.classpath"/>
   <taskdef name="list" classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.ListTask" 
classpathref="tomcat.classpath"/>
   <taskdef name="reload" 
classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.ReloadTask" 
classpathref="tomcat.classpath"/>
   <taskdef name="remove" 
classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.RemoveTask" 
classpathref="tomcat.classpath"/>

The above ant statements require that you have a statement of: <property 
file="remote.properties"/> somewhere in your ant build.xml file, and 
that this files has entries for axis.home and tomcat.home.

Realize that the Ant tasks for Axis don't mention that you can nest a 
classpath element...but you can. And it is required unless you haven't 
already created an environment setting for AXISCLASSPATH in your OS. I 
was getting ClassNotFoundException until I nested a classpath element.
