That reminds me... The dependency on geronimo/axis/car was required
in my web app that invoked web services. Adding dependency on
geronimo/tomcat/car resolved the deployment problem for my ejb app
that provided the web services.

What exactly do you mean by "web service"? Is this a jaxrpc web
service deployed with all the required j2ee 1.4 xml files such as the
jaxrpc mapping file?

I'm surprised you are getting this error. The gbean it's looking for
is in the tomcat configuration, so you might try adding the tomcat
car as a dependency of the ejb jar (not the web module war file) or
the ear. However, the web service deployer is supposed to be adding
this dependency for you.
Something like this:
<dep:dependency>
<dep:groupId>geronimo</dep:groupId>
<dep:artifactId>tomcat</dep:artifactId>
<dep:type>car</dep:type>
</dep:dependency>
One thing to beware of is that jaxrpc web services either have to be
extremely simple so they don't need a jaxrpc mapping file or you have
to come up with a jaxrpc mapping file, something for which we don't
have any tools. Geronimo is quite strict about what it will accept
in a jaxrpc mapping file, so its possible that something that works
on another server won't work in geronimo. However I don't see how
this could result in the error you are seeing. I would not have the
patience to try to get a non-trivial jaxrpc web service to work, I
would convert it to a jaxws web service and use a geronimo 2.0 snapshot.
