axis on-the-fly wsdl generation problem

[Michael Thome <mt...@bbn.com>]

I've got a deployed service which is perfectly functional, but for which 
the ?wsdl option fails with a simple "Exception - 
java.lang.StackOverflowError" message (without a stack dump or any other 
information).  The tomcat/catalina logs are similarly unhelpful.  Also 
interesting is that java2wsdl doesn't seem to have any problem with the 
(undeployed) service.

So questions:
- any debugging suggestions?  I know how to get the servlet to use my 
wsdl document instead of generating it, but it would be nice to know 
that something else isn't wrong.
- what is it that "?wsdl" is doing that is different than java2wsdl?

Thanks much,

figured out how to ask jira or the wiki about it - if so, apologies]
