RE: example of using MIME types in operations

Jacek,

Maybe I am missing something here, but why do we need another extension
for indicating mime type? Is the media type spec at [1] sufficient? 

The following code using [1] should be able to do exactly the same thing
as the example you gave below does:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
<description 
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/05/wsdl"
    targetNamespace= "http://example.com/images" 
    xmlns:tns= "http://example.com/images"
    xmlns:sns= "http://example.com/imagesSchema"
    xmlns:wsoap= "http://www.w3.org/2005/05/wsdl/soap"
    xmlns:whttp="http://www.w3.org/2005/05/wsdl/http"
    xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"
    xmlns:xmime="http://www.w3.org/@@@@/@@/xmlmime">

	<types>
		<xs:schema
targetNamespace="http://example.com/imagesSchema">
			<xs:element name="imageID" type="xs:string" />
			<xs:element name="imageOut"
type="xmine:base64binary" xmime:expectedContentTypes="image/*"/>
				<!-- IMHO, media type should be defined
as part of the message definition -->
		</xs:schema>
	</types>

	<interface  name="imageRepositoryInterface" >
   
		<operation name="opDownloadImage" 
	
pattern="http://www.w3.org/2005/05/wsdl/in-out"
	
style="http://www.w3.org/2005/05/wsdl/style/uri"
				wsdlx:safe = "true">
			<input messageLabel="In" 
				element="sns:imageID" />
			<output messageLabel="Out" element ="imageOut"/>
				   <!-- you don't need to mix the
message definition with the interface definition -->
		</operation>
	</interface>

	<binding name="imageRepositoryHTTPBinding"
		 interface="tns:imageRepositoryInterface"
		 type="http://www.w3.org/2005/05/wsdl/http"
		 whttp:methodDefault="GET">

		<operation ref="tns:opDownloadImage"
			whttp:location="{imageID}"  />

		<!-- It requires defining how to interpret the media
types for http binding, no matter whether the media type data is
provided with the message definition or with the interface definition
-->
	</binding>

	<service name="imageRepositoryService"
		 interface="tns:imageRepositoryInterface">
		<endpoint name="repositoryEndpoint"
			binding="tns:imageRepositoryHTTPBinding"
			address="http://example.com/images/"/>

	</service>
</description>

Thoughts?
