I'm sure there is probably better doco somewhere on this, but I generally experience this from redeploying a resource in Tomcat several times (thru the manager) without restarting. I believe that when you undeploy, the memory is not dealloc'd--so hence the memory leak.
Day to day, I redeploy until I see that error and then restart Tomcat. Not sure if that is the suggested workaround from the Tomcat folks, but has worked for me. Hope that helps, pc p.s.--and this is on an app not using Axis--so its not just an Axis issue...
