Option 2 - Model as First Class Concept
- Introduce an "Attribute" concept to wsdl:interface
- Similar to attribute in CORBA IDL
- Core idea:
- Elements of publicly available state are modeled using XML Schema element
- State of a Web service instance is modeled "logically" as an
XML instance document
- Define operations: get, set, query, [subscribe]
- Elements of state are modeled with the interface definition as
attributes
- Use attributes to convey state and meta-data of the
service
- Client proxy generators can still generate type-specific
getters/setters (if they want)
