I don't think so, as I tried to explain. If you don't know what the method means, you're not going to invoke it, even if it's safe ... except perhaps for "ping", as you mention. I believe that safety should be defined wherever the method semantics are defined, and that ain't the WSDL. Mark. -- Mark Baker.
