The difference between the two is the version. For some reason, the servlet API 3.x was imported into Maven central with a different artifact ID. That is not something we control.
The version of the servlet API used by Axis2 is specified by a dependencyManagement entry in the parent POM (it is 2 dot something). The avoid the conflict, add an exclusion to the Axis2 dependency (or dependencies).
