i have experienced the same problem and have found a solution that seems to work consistently. the axis jars, for whatever reason, need to go in the deploy folder. i banged my head against this until it bled so i graciously offer this to you ;o) we're using the default server so i zipped up the axis jars and client-config.wsdd and dropped that zip file into %jboss_home%\server\default\deploy. i hope this works as well for you as it did for me. good luck.

If you're deploying the EJB inside of an ear file, be sure that the Axis generated classes are in a jar inside of the ear, and that the EJB jar's manifest file puts the jar in it's classpath. You may need to experiment a bit.
