Some of you may remember that my first proposal for doing GET in SOAP was to invent a REST:GET body element, and to have the HTTP binding recognize that as a special case that would be sent on the wire as HTTP GET. When the task force convened to produce the actual specification, that approach did not meet with concensus. I am not suggesting any changes in the spec, or that we made a mistake. I'm just noting that what Sam wants for Axis is not far from (though not necessarily identical to) what we considered along the way. Were it earlier in the process, I might argue for reconsidering our SOAP design. I think what we have is more than acceptable. If Axis wants to trigger web-method using what appears to be the QName of a SOAP body entry, then Axis can do so. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah Mendelsohn Voice: 1-617-693-4036 IBM Corporation Fax: 1-617-693-8676 One Rogers Street Cambridge, MA 02142 ------------------------------------------------------------------
