Re: Name AII on input/output EIIs in port type operations

 Hi all, 8-)
 in SOAP RPC, the name of the request element should match the 
operation name, the name of the response element is irrelevant.
 Therefore I suggest that we make it clear that the request RPC 
wrapper element (style="rpc") name is equal to the operation name 
and that the response RPC wrapper element name is equal to the 
operation name with "Response" appended to it. This is the 
suggestion made by SOAP RPC and it is the current best practice 
AFAIK.
 The old way in WSDL 1.1 violated SOAP RPC because two 
operations, both named foo() (overloading in effect) required 
different names for the input elements and therefore different 
names of the SOAP RPC wrapper element - when clearly the SOAP RPC 
would name them both foo.
 Best regards,
