RE: NEW ISSUE 4127: Proposed WSDL 1.1 element identifiers can not deal with operation name overloading

Some more comments on this:

Another 2 solutions:
#3: Leave as is and when there is overloading, the first is used.

#4: Leave as is and when there is overloading, say nothing

I think #2 would have to look something like

<input name="foo"/><input name="bar"/>

Would have something like:
wsdl11.portTypeMessageReference(portType/operation/message(
messageName))

Cheers,
Dave

> Description

> Endpoints described with WSDL 1.1 may have several operations

> Justification

> The current WS-Policy proposal for WSDL 1.1 element 
> identifiers is not able to deal with operation name 
> overloading. With the proposed syntax you could only identify 
> one operation of the endpoint randomly and any other 
> operation of the endpoint with the same name would be ignored.

> 2. Modify the fragment identifiers for portType operation and 
> binding operation to deal with operation name overloading.
