I would really like some input on this if anyone knows.
Recap: I'd like to know how to specify a message part as mandatory/required.
Currently, it automatically makes anything after the first part "optional"

Subject: [gsoap] Re: gSOAP WSDL Parsing -- How To make message part explicitly
'Required'?
BTW, The service as a whole works well. I've used the client code from gSOAP to
interact with the service code and have fully fleshed out all the service stubs
etc.
It all works well...just curious as to how to force required parts so that SOAP
will guarantee proper message format before handing off to my processing code.
