While deploying the web service on Jboss 7.1.0 application server, the error -  No implementation defined for org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory was noticed. 

After trying out multiple approaches, finally, the issue was resolved. Here are the steps performed to fix the issue

Resolution:

1. Removed old axis.jar and put axis-1.3.jar under WebConent/WEB-INF/lib location

2. Removed common-logging.jar file from WebConent/WEB-INF/lib location

3. Added jcl-over-slf4j-1.7.7.redhat-3.jar to WebConent/WEB-INF/lib location

Now web service is successfully deployed and able to access WSDL.
