What this error is referring to is the ClassLoader process is not able to find a dependent class. Basically, if you know much about ClassLoader delegation, a "parent" loader can NOT look down into children loaders without some special intervention to find classes. So, if you put the axis.jar in the web server classpath, but you deploy activation.jar or some other jar/class that axis needs to find, within the /lib dir of your .war file, the axis.jar can NOT find the jar it needs. Axis.jar, in this scenario is being loaded by a "parent" classloader than the one your web-app is loaded by. Each web app get's its own classloader instance, usually a classloader child to the application classloader (or one that is a child to the app classloader). So, your web-inf/classes can ALL see any class within your web-inf/lib *.jar and *.zip files as well as any classes in ANY parent loader, including the web server, which is why you dont need to deploy servlet.jar, and others with your web app. If axis.jar is deployed at the same level as servlet.jar, and axis.jar has code that needs to use classes out of activation.jar, and activation.jar is in your web-inf/lib dir, you are screwed. Either axis.jar needs to be deployed with your web app directly as part of its web-inf/lib dir, OR activation.jar (and others it needs) should be put in the same app server lib dir so they can all see each other.
