axis-debuginfo-1.2.1-2jpp.7.fc7.x86_64.rpm which, despite the name, is
the current package for F8.  It looks like it was generated before the
fix went in.  Dare I suggest a rebuild of all Java packages of
sufficient age?

Also, if anyone cares, my problem did indeed turn out to be a bug in
axis 1.2.1 which was fixed in 1.3 or 1.4.  (I went straight to 1.4 to
check, so I don't know which version fixed the bug.)  I see there is a
request for an upgrade to 1.4 [1], but it is being held up by some
problems with xml-security [2].  I'm not sure we should even bother,
though, since the project has been obsoleted by axis2 [3].
