Ok, I've figured out what was the problem.
I didn't want to (and lated proved couldn't) use standard deployment 
method, with first deploying Axis and later invoking 
org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient class with deploy.wsdd.
I wanted a standalone .war file, that I could deploy and it should work.
It also later proved, that I couldn't do it the documented way, because 
AdminService accepts connections only from localhost, and I didn't find 
a way to call it if application server is bound to a specific interface.

What I did, was simply renamed deploy.wsdd to server-config.wsdd and put 
in in WEB-INF directory.
As there's no default server-config.wsdd available in the binary release 
and nothing in documentation suggests there are some more required 
elements in server-config, I was certain that it should work.
What would help is

a) put default server-config.wsdd in the web-app directory for binary 
release (it's quite hard to find even if you download the sources)

or

b) put a standalone deployment description somewhere in the documentation.

As for now, deploying standalone is simply try and guess, with no 
sensible error messages.
