Axis2 is not working properly - eclipse

Question

When I try to access Services, Validate and Administration link on the URL http://localhost:82/SOAPDemo/, where my Axis2 Web Application is deployed, it gives me the following error :
Servlet.init() for servlet AxisServlet threw exception
At the back-end, while apache tomcat 7 is being started in eclipse, it shows me the following warning :
[WARN] Unable to instantiate deployer org.apache.axis2.deployment.ServiceDeployer;

Answer 1

I solved this by adding axis2-jaxws.jar in the classpath.
You can integrate it with maven : http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.axis2/axis2-jaxws

Answer 2

I got the same issue when I use axis2 1.7.9, then I tried to follow
"I solved this by adding axis2-jaxws.jar in the classpath. You can integrate it with maven : http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.axis2/axis2-jaxws", solution by Pierre-Yves Le Dévéhat
But it didn't work. Then I tried the
"I probably hit the same issue, here is the call stack:" ->
"I fixed it with old axis2 1.6.4 instead of 1.7.1 installation and new project creation", solution by user6140506, edited by TeWu
then the error is fixed.
axis2 1.6.4 is working for me...
