title: Axis version 1.4.1 deploy on IBM WAS 8.5
body: <p>I'm working on a migration of applications from WAS 6.1 to WAS 8.5. These applications use axis version 1.4.1 but when they are deployed in WAS 8.5 an Axis servlet error ocurrs:</p>
  
  <pre><code>WarBasedAxisC E org.apache.axis2.deployment.WarBasedAxisConfigurator &lt;init&gt; org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException                                      org.apache.axis2.deployment.DeploymentException: org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <pre><code>webapp E com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.webapp.WebApp commonInitializationFinally SRVE0266E: Error occured while initializing servlets: {0}
  javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.servlet.ServletException: org.apache.axis2.deployment.DeploymentException: org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have this link from an IBM workaround.</p>

  <p>I performed steps one, two and three. But when I try to load the application on WAS 8.5, it fails with the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>The following exception occurred. Check log for details. 
  com.ibm.websphere.management.application.client.AppDeploymentException: [Root exception is org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.commonarchivecore.internal.exception.DeploymentDescriptorLoadException: WEB-INF/web.xml]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have searched for other solutions, but without luck...</p>
  
  <p>Has some one stumble with this issue and solved it??</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: I solved this error by rebuilding the application with the added jars. But I still get Axis exceptions at starup...</p>
