On Mac OS X, cd to /Library/WebObjects/Extensions where you'll find the axis
jar files (and it's baggage) that WO uses.

Execute:
java -cp ./axis.jar:./commons-logging.jar:./commons-discovery.jar
org.apache.axis.Version

[all one line of code] [I'm sure similar code will work on Windows too]

...to give you the current version of axis in the jar file. For me (WO
5.2.4), it was no surprise to find:
  Apache Axis version: 1.0
  Built on Oct 07, 2002 (10:43:15 EDT)

I wouldn't be tempted to replace the existing axis.jar with a more current
one you might get from ws.apache.org; I tried it and most of my code broke.
I guess because it's not there just for your ease-of-use ;-) but WO uses it
too.

I have had success just adding the latest version of axis.jar (1.2) (and its
up-to-date baggage (commons-discovery, commons-logging, etc)) to my project
like any other jar file and being able to use its functionality quite
happily without WO breaking because it [WO] still gets to use v1.0 from its
own classpath (Hope I'm describing what happens here correctly).

Once you do add your own axis.jar to your project though, I would give up
using WO's implementation of WebServices -- it seems very primitive now.
Just use the Axis API as you find it on ws.apache.org. I'm quite happily
running Web Services via WO today.
