General Web services in Registry schema

[KevinBenson]

Actually I don't remember this extra URL element to point to the wsdl (not
that I can remember), but we said that a "?wsdl" could be added to the end
of the service endpoint  (hence the accessURL for a WebService type) and
that would get the wsdl.

Cheers,
Kevin

Paul,

I agree. We (AstroGrid) used to use the accessUrl element to point to the
WSDL
and this caused confusion due to assymetric with HTTP-get services. At the
exec meeting in Pune, it was suggested that accessUrl should formally be
defined to be the service endpoint, not the source of WSDL, and that we
ought
to have a different element to given the URL for the WSDL. I think we did
the
former change but never reissued VODataService with the extra element for
the
WSDL.

Cheers,
Guy
