serious issue in axis-1.0-GA : "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/ServletContext" exception

           Summary: serious issue in axis-1.0-GA :

I have upgraded from Axis1.0-RC2 to today's Axis1.0 release and I find very 
serious problem in the release.
 
When I do "java org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient list", I 
get "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/ServletContext" with stack 
trace as below. I get the same exception from my own axis client application 
and get the same java stack trace starting with "at 
org.apache.axis.client.Service.<init>(Service.java:111) " as also in the stack 
trace below. When I change axis.jar point to one in "Axis1.0-RC2", all works 
fine. So to get my axis based application running, I have switched back to 
Axis1.0-RC2 due to this issue.
 
>java org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient list
