Martin, I am not exactly sure what you are asking, and whether this is a general WSDL question, or a question pertaining to the implementation of polymorphism.
You use the term "entity". Are you talking about attributes of the element WSDL tag? We typically see the attributes minoccurs and maxoccurs also included in the element tag. I have included the WSDL to my test service which I have used to demonstrate polymorphism. The service has one webmethod: BaseRetObject MorphThis(BaseParmObject inPoly); I have conducted experiments which have a client create a SubParmObject (extends BaseParmObject) and pass it in to the MorphThis method. The service takes the data and stuffs it in a SubRetObject (extends BaseRetObject) before returning it to the client.

Good Evening Dave looking quickly at the WSDL A defined service has 1+ Binding/Port combination for each location e.g. <wsdl:service name="StockQuoteService"> <wsdl:port name="StockQuoteServiceSOAP11port" binding="axis2:StockQuoteServiceSOAP11Binding"> <soap:address location="http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/StockQuoteService"; /> </wsdl:port> so looking at the example of binding of StockService which has binding="axis2:StockQuoteServiceSOAP11Binding" (as we have been shown binding StockQuoteServiceSOAP11Binding has 1 PortType called 'StockQuoteServiceSOAP11port') PortType has input and output messages <wsdl:portType name="StockQuoteServicePortType"> <wsdl:operation name="getPrice"> <wsdl:input message="axis2:getPriceMessage" /> <wsdl:output message="axis2:getPriceResponseMessage" /> </wsdl:operation> The inputMessage getPriceMessage has a definition which contains one or more part names <wsdl:message name="getPriceMessage"> <wsdl:part name="part1" element="ns:getPrice" /> </wsdl:message> the localpart element getPrice has the message getPrice which is a complexType defined of even more elements <xs:element name="getPrice"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="symbol" nillable="true" type="xs:string" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> Any other entities which getPrice does not need (other than symbol) is extraneous to the run characteristics of the operation and are not identified or carried by the message Are you envisioning a need to carry any other entity?..if so how should the message identify these characteristics ?
