Fair enough. > So it's not possible to simply give the different operations different names? That would go against our design philosophy a bit -- the idea being that a script/program written to talk to one FuncNet prediction service (see http://funcnet.eu) can talk to any of them with just a change of URL. This has now gone into papers and publicity materials etc... Although, an alternative workaround at my end would be to break the services out into separate WSDLs, so 'impossible' was a bad choice of word, sorry :-) > I'm doubtful if we would be able to fit this into the 2.1 schedule > (we're currently in beta 1), and as it would require a week or two's > work it would have to wait for the autumn, I'm afraid.
