Tony provides a fairly accurate assessment. Axis is a servlet, and has little to do with the services provided by the servlet container. JNDI emulation is provided through your container (Tomcat, what have you) and is not something that axis really cares about.
If your current application is deployed and working, you may want to look at "embedding" axis within your current application. Essentially you can make Axis work for your webapp as opposed to your entire server.
