Venkat, I'm new to Axis but the problem that you are experiencing sounds a lot like the problem that I was having earlier--the jar files that were placed in the WEB-INF\lib directory were being ignored. The problem proved to be associated with J2SDK 1.4. The solution is set the java.endorsed.dirs system property to include your jar file. I posted the following message earlier.
Anybody attempting to run Axis with J2SDK 1.4 will need to set the Java system property java.endorsed.dirs. "Note: The system property java.endorsed.dirs specifies one or more directories where the Java runtime environment searches for JAR files. You must set this system property only when running J2EE SDK 1.3.x on the J2SDK 1.4." The above quote was copied from the following link. http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/WebServices/wsj2ee / Unfortunately, I did not see a similar comment in the Apache documentation. Certainly, it wasn't in the installation instructions. I set the java.endorsed.dirs system variable in the %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\setclasspath.bat file. Of course, UNIX users should use setclasspath.sh I hope that helps.
