Jboss version:3.2.2

Problem description:
We are using Jboss to host an application that works 24/7. The application communicates with its clients only via SOAP. There might be up to several dozens of SOAP clients. We also have scheduled services ("org.jboss.varia.scheduler.Scheduler") that connect to external systems also via SOAP. During Jboss starts sometimes we are having a problem with unavailable AxisServlet. When this happens no SAOP client can connect to the application until it's restarted properly. I suspect that this is happening when client tries to connect to the server when it is getting up, and some Axis classes are not loaded in that time. In the result I need to restart Jboss until this problem is gone. Clients are not aware that Jboss is restarted so they keep connecting. The real problem is when Jboss is restarted automatically and no one can see that problem has happened. Please help.
