[seek-dev] Re: GLOBUS and EcoGrid Query wsdl

[Matt Jones]

Jing,

I looked at the GWSDL doc. I don't think you should use AnyRecordType as 
the repsonse, but instead you should use "resultsetType" from query.xsd. 
  Is there a reason you did it that way?

Why did you need to generate a new GWSDL document, rather than just 
modifying Dave's queryInterface4.wsdl? Also, why are you developing a 
Metacat-specific port type?  It seems to me that the GWSDL shouldn;t 
have any mention of metacat in it at all.  For example, your 
MetacatPortType definition should really be an "EcoGridPortType", right? 
  And the operations should be those defined in Dave's WSDL document, 
right?

Thanks in advance for the clarifications,

Matt
