Aaron,
I got it working after some close analysis and trial and error. I had place the
parameters in the wrong section using the wrong tags. This is what I had to do -
----------------------------------------
<web-app>
<display-name>Apache-Axis</display-name>
<!-- initialization parameters for all web services/web apps deployed in this
context. -->
<!-- the demo .fo file for the FOP Web Service-->
<context-param>
<param-name>demoFoFileName</param-name>
<param-value>demoFoFile.fo</param-value>
<description>foo desc</description>
</context-param>
-------------------------------------

It appears this is not the case. My init method gets called and I have access to the
params from web.xml(after making the change above). Please see
http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/apiDocs/javax/xml/rpc/server/ServiceLifecycle.html#init(java.lang.Object)
&
http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/apiDocs/javax/xml/rpc/server/ServletEndpointContext.html
Thanks

ServiceLifecycle params and web.xml init params have nothing to do with
each other.
Service params are configured in your WSDD. Furthermore,
ServiceLifecycle init method will NOT be called if implement it in your
*Impl class. You must implement it in your *Skeleton class (modify the
generated source). If you want your *Impl class to implement it, you
must implement it in your Skeleton then manually call down to the
implementation.
My expectation was that ServiceLifecycle would apply to the *Impl class,
and I would would vote to change this behavior so that is the case.
