Re: WSDL components and properties stylesheets: properties attached to multiple components

Hugo,

I don't like the idea of one component being treated differently, i.e. 
with the others as dups.

There is no assumption now that a property name is unique to a component, 
e.g. {name} appears in several components.

I think the safe way to handle this is to simply create a separate 
<propdef> element for each occurence., e.g.

  <propdef comp="Binding">soap modules</propdef>
  <propdef comp="Binding Operation">soap modules</propdef>
  <propdup comp="Binding Message Reference">soap modules</propdef>

This will result in the property name appearing 3 times in the text, but 
at least the tables will work.

I think the cleanest XML design is to allow a comma-separated list for 
@comp, e.g.

<propdef comp="Binding, Binding Operation, Binding Message Reference">soap 
modules</propdef>

but that will require more work on the stylesheets (to process the list).

WSDL components and properties stylesheets: properties attached to 
multiple components






Hi Arthur.

Having just finished a round of edits on Part 2, I noticed one issue
with <propdef>.

In Part 2, we are defining in one place properties to several
components, e.g. {soap modules} to Binding, Binding Operation, etc.
However, propdef only allows for one component to be specified. I was
thinking of adding a propdup element to be used as follows:

  <propdef comp="Binding">
    soap modules
    <propdup comp="Binding Operation"/>
    <propdup comp="Binding Message Reference"/>
  </propdef>

processed then as:

  <propdef comp="Binding" prop="soapmodules" dup="Binding Operation"/>

to populate the component table accordingly.

Does that look good to you?

Cheers,

Hugo
