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-IN

I quote from the AXIS site: http://ws.apache.org/axis/ java/insta ll.html#ad vanced
The core concepts are
Add axis.jar, wsdl.jar, saaj.jar, jaxrpc.jar and the other dependent libraries to your WAR file (WEB-ING\lib).
Copy all the Axis Servlet declarations and mappings from axis/WEB-INF/web.xml and add them to your own web.xml
Build and deploy your webapp.
Run the Axis AdminClient against your own webapp, instead of Axis, by changing the URL you invoke it with.
