3.5 Specifying the Default HTTP Method

Description[top]

Every Binding Operation component MUST indicate what HTTP method is in use for the operations of the interface that this binding applies to. This binding specification allows the user to indicate a default HTTP method to be used for all Binding Operation components of this Binding component.

Relationship to WSDL Component Model[top]

The default HTTP method specification is a syntactic convenience and does not affect the underlying component model.

XML Representation[top]

<definitions >
  <binding name="xs:NCName" interface="xs:QName"? type="xs:anyURI"
           whttp:defaultMethod="xs:string"? >
  </binding>
</definitions>

The XML representation for specifying the default HTTP method is an optional attribute information item with the following Infoset properties:

• A [local name] of defaultMethod

• A [namespace name] of http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/http

• A type of wsdls:string

• No default value
