I want to make a comment just for clarifying something)

This page only works right for previous versions of SSAP. 
In the new version, when asking for the format=metadata, the 
answer contains, as params, both the inputs and outputs of 
the model (with a INPUT: or OUTPUT: prefix).

The web application that Miguel recommends is not prepared 
for that. It expects that the outputs come as fields of a 
table with no data (some old espcification of this 
format=metadata dialog).

The service that you have developed is compliant to the new 
SSAP recommendation (congratulations :-) and thus, when 
checked by my web application, it does not work properly (my 
application thinks that all the parameters are inputs).

It's obviously my fault, not yours. I will upgrade to the 
new version as soon as posible.

Sorry for the confusion.
