Bear with me here, but this is one of the problems I have with this whole new MEP thing. GET/POST/etc. are *HTTP* methods. Yes, it's called "WebMethod" in SOAP 1.2, but we all know that it's really about using HTTP, and I think that does a disservice to the protocol-neutrality of SOAP. I would much prefer something like Call.setIdempotentOperation(true), and then let the binding figure out that in the HTTP case, that means you use GET. I agree with Sam that there are still serious issues about how exactly you construct useful URLs which mean useful things, but that's another issue. --Glen
