Answer 1

The apache axiom library is not in your classpath. If you use maven, make sure that it is in your pom.xml. if it's there, make sure that it has the runtime scope: <scope>runtime</scope>.

Answer 2

An easy way to make this class available to your web application is to put the axiom.jar file in your WEB-INF/lib folder.
