Tomcat + Axis

I wish to add a SOAP-based web-service using Apache Axis to an existing Tomcat web application. So here is what I did:

a) Installed and validated Axis under the Tomcat webapps directory
b) Created a simple web service that returns the sum of an array of two numbers to get a feel for how the system works

However, my problem is that in doing these, all my java class files etc have to be placed under the Tomcat/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/classes directory. Also when I run the axis admin tool to deply the web service, it modifies files under the axis web app. Since I already have a web-application running, I have to somehow add axis support to the existing application. I found some stuff on the Internet related to this but none of it was in sufficient detail to get me going. Any pointers/hints on how to go about doing this?Start Free Trial
