Modified: java/src/org/apache/axis/description TypeDesc.java
Log:
Allow dynamic registration of TypeDescs for given classes.
Several limitations right now:
1) Registration is per-JVM (static), not per engine - is this OK?
2) Potential Classloader problems? Should we be doing this by
class name and not Class object?
