Keep your application as self-contained as possible. Moving the Axis jars from WEB-INF/lib to common/lib has significant classloading implications, as you've seen ;) Shrinking the size of your WAR should not be a design priority, especially since you sacrifice portability (not all containers have the concept of common/lib). If you *have* to do it, try shared/lib instead of common/lib so that you're not clashing with the server's libraries that are also provided by Axis. As to the actual NPE cause, you might want to ask the commons-discovery folks. But there's been an open bugzilla issue for this hooks thing for ages.
