And also some comments on David's and Steve's messages regardign dynamic attributes... As it was suggested, in OGSI a particular interface is mandated, namely the GridService portType, for Grid Service Instances. Amongst other things, it includes operations to access serviceData, get type and metadata information about them, and get a list of them (including any dynamically added ones). It is my view that this would not be possible in WSDL, since equivalent operations cannot be madated. One could argue that a number of specific attributes could be defined that MUST exist in order to provide access to runtime information (like the list of dynamically created attributes). Personally, I think that such a requirement should not be imposed by WSDL. .savas.
