Is there a way to get > around this? The only way would be to make the service itself "unpublished" what of course is not allowed also. Perhaps we could allow it for this service as it is an "old style service" and these services never have been used for anything else than documentation. So making it "unpublished" won't break any code. But I assume that this would create some hassle.
Alternatively you could remove your new interface from the IDL file again (as I said: old style services are documentation only) or you can design a new, unpublished service and deprecate the old one. This would be a good opportunity to make this service a "new style" one. :-) Ciao, Mathias -- Mathias Bauer (mba) - Project Lead OpenOffice.org Writer OpenOffice.org Engineering at Sun: http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS Please don't reply to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
