Yeah, that's essentially what I've found via the net.  This afternoon I
stumbled upon this discussion:

http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=546542&messageID=3570163

Which has a code snippet for handling it.  I'm just not sure how to
integrate it with the WSDL stuff we're using too (WSDL being a Yet
Another Foreign Acronym for me at this point).

Thanks for the tips.
