WsdlBuilder and Messages without Parameters

We use the 7.7.1 WSDL builder (WsdlBuilder) to build a WSDL from the
following method:

getAllContacts
<documentation: #'Returns all contacts'>
<operationName: #GetAllContacts>
<result: #(#Collection #Contact)>
<inputHeader: #AuthenticationProcessor>
(...)

Note that the operation does not contain any addParameter:type:
pragma. In the resulting WSDL, the following is created:

<message name="GetAllContactsSoapIn"/>

I am however being told that the entry should look like this:

<message name="GetAllContactsSoapIn">
<part name="parameters" element="tns:GetAllContacts"/>
</message>

In addition, the following element should have been added:

<element name ="GetAllContacts">
<complexType/>
</element>

Is the lack of <part name="parameters" element="tns:GetAllContacts"/>
really a problem? Do I use WsdlBuilder incorrectly?

Kind regards
Runar

Re: WsdlBuilder and Messages without Parameters

Hi Runar,

Use of wsdl:message elements with zero parts is permitted in Document
styles to permit operations that can send or receive envelopes with
empty soap:Bodys.
Use of wsdl:message elements with zero parts is permitted in RPC styles
to permit operations that have no (zero) parameters and/or a return
value.
[http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/BasicProfile-1.1.html#Bindings_and_Parts ]

Have you tried to add the #addParameter:type: pragma with a type that
maps an empty GetAllContacts object?

Re: WsdlBuilder and Messages without Parameters

In reply to this post by Runar Jordahl

Your WSDL looks fine to me. In WSDL 1.0 (which this must be since 2.0
replaced <message> with <element>), you can provide 0..N <part>
parameters per <message>. Of course if someone prefers they can always
define exactly one parameter, whose type is defined for each message to
be a complex type containing the "real" parameters (0..N).

To me, always having one parameter sounds like making all Smalltalk
methods take one argument, and creating a special argument-holding class
per method to pass the actual parameters. I wonder how many classes with
zero instance variables would be needed? :-)
