Please help.

From the logs you have posted, it seems you are missing commons-discovery.jar. Check which version of commons-discovery.jar is required by your axis version and place that jar inside the /WEB-INF/lib/ directory.

Thank you fo the quick reply.

The JAR exists in the location (WEB-INF/lib).
Also, the class file - DiscoverSingleton exists in the JAR

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/discovery/tools/DiscoverSingleton

Could this be a problem with setting up Environment variables?

Regards.

I think you have to define all lib files needed for axis webservice in the MANIFEST.MF like Class-Path: lib/common-discovery.jar and others. Try out this way.
