I suspect the DTD for WSDD is out of date.  Glen?  Comments?

For an example of a deploy.wsdd with metadata, look at any of various
tests.  A particularly useful one is build/work/test/names/deploy.wsdd
because it shows a need for metadata.  The actual XML operation names are
different than the Java names for those methods and, therefore, cannot be
discovered by mere introspection.

Subject:    RE: Skeleton vs deploy.wsdd for metadata





Russell,

I assume the metadata you are referring to includes parameter names,
parameter modes, SOAPAction value and input/output namespaces.  I don't see
any of this data in my generated deploy.wsdd files.  Looking at the DTD for
WSDD, I don't see where this information could be specified.  You know much
more about this than me.  Is this just a matter of me looking at an
outdated DTD for WSDD?
