Within the WSDL, optional parameters are defined the same way that required parameters are... as wsdl:parts, referencing a type defined in the wsdl:types section. The actual type doesn't need to be defined as accepting empty values...for example, an optional numeric parameter can be defined as an xsd:integer here. The only place you have to treat optional user parameters differently is inside the METHODMAP datastream. > Also, is there a /dateTime value that can be specified that will always > get the most recent version of the operation?

If not present, it indicates that the latest version should be used. The parameter array can be specified at invocation time regardless of whether the /dateTime part precedes it. When invoking the operations, user-supplied parameters are expected to be provided in the following form: .../methodName?arg1=value1&arg2=value2 [...] Note: I'm currently working on a "Construction Guide" that will include details on how SDep/SDef objects should be put together (see "Recently Updated" at http://fedora-commons.org/wiki ) ... for the time being, for what you're doing, the image manipulation demo (demo:27 and demo:28) and the document transform demo (demo:12 and demo:13) should prove helpful. - Chris On Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 9:29 AM, Jason Nugent<[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, everyone, > > I am in the middle of building a content model, along with an SDep/SDef > implementation, and was wondering what the syntax was for using > "Optional Parameters" when calling operations.
