Axis 1.3 and VOTable 1.1 schema

Hi,

Sorry if you get multiple copies of this but this is a bit of a 
showstopper: whereas Axis 1.2.1 handled the VOTable 1.1 schema without 
any complaints so you could generate Java clients to Skynode and other 
services which use it, Axis 1.3 bombs out with the old recursion error:

java.io.IOException: The definition of 
{http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/xml/VOTable-1.1.xsd}OPTION results in a loop.

i.e. OPTION can contain OPTION ad infinitum.

The workaround is to use a hacked version of the WSDL importing a hacked 
version of the VOTable schema which is not ideal and certainly not for 
real astronomers.

    Cheers,

    Matthew
