Steve, I agree.
> * add support for generating WSIL (need a "published" attribute at the > ServiceDesc level...also in WSDD) The "published" attribute that I mentioned will allow you to suppress browser-based browsing and WSIL listing of individual services. This will most likely be an optional parameter in the WSDD entry for each service. <service name="PrintService" provider="java:RPC"> <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="printFromFileToSCPJAsynch"/> <parameter name="className" value="com.payformance.nps.soap.services.PrintService"/> <parameter name="published" value="false"/> </service> I propose that we also add parameters to the globalConfiguration in the server-config.wsdd file for controlling the visibility of the publishing mechanisms. <globalConfiguration> <parameter name="WSIL.enabled" value="false"/> <parameter name="serviceManager.enabled" value="false"/> ... Later, as the security components evolve, we could tie this to ACL's for fine-grained control. Comments?
