[jboss-user] [JBoss Web Services] - Patterns for modelling void return operations in WSDL?

Marko Asplund [http://community.jboss.org/people/aspa] created the discussion "Patterns for modelling void return operations in WSDL?" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/624816#624816 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I'm designing a web service interface (WSDL 1.1 / SOAP 1.1) that will include operations that I'd like to model similar to void returning methods in Java like this: void doFoo(...) throws MyContingencyException; That is, while there's no return value, i'd like to be able to deliver service specific faults to the consumer. Apparently, you can't return faults with one-way MEPs, so it would need to be request-response MEP. What kinds of patterns are you using for modeling these kinds of operations in WSDL? Do you just define a simple status code value (xsd:byte, xsd:boolean or xsd:string)? Or define a custom "VoidType" complexType with no content? Any other approaches? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/624816#624816] Start a new discussion in JBoss Web Services at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
