You should be able to define such circular references in schema, but
"literal" does not support circular object references in instance
documents (you can have things like linked lists as long as it is not
circular). There is no way to reference the same value from multiple
places which would be required. You need "encoded" for this and I don't
believe JAX-WS supports that.
