All: I do not agree with the direction we are taking with attributes in WSDL 2.0 working group. My reasons include: a) Forcing the designer to use Get/Set operation pairs to denote attributes results in a model of very fine grained access. b) The approach is quite complicated, this reduces the functionality/capability of tools to support this approach ubiquitously. c) The approach does not allow/support addition of policy/meta-data specifically associated with the attributes. Therefore I request that the WSDL WG reconsider its position on attributes and terminate this line of activity. The concept of attributes in Web services should be done in another venue that would allow a simpler and more complete treatment of this concept. sgg ++++++++ Steve Graham (919)254-0615 (T/L 444) STSM, On Demand Architecture Member, IBM Academy of Technology <Soli Deo Gloria/> ++++++++
