Updated on November 22, 2019

Recently we upgraded our SAP PI system to Support pack stack 25 and AXIS stopped working.

After some research found SAP note 2616936 - Axis adapter returns the complete SOAP envelope instead of SOAP Body Child element

and

1776204 - NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/axis/description/OperationDesc - during message processing with AXIS adapter

 

This is required to add serializer.jar and wsdl4j.jar file in to package.

I am updating this document with new information
