James, There is no spec-defined operation for this...I think it defeats the transparency of the resources...Where do you put the operation GetResourceIdList? In our implementation the operation makes sense on the ResourceHome, however the RH is not exposed as a web service....
There is nothing wrong with using a factory pattern for you web service and then you could expose an operation like that...I believe Kinga's examples may do something like that... -Sal -----Original Message----- From: James Lorenzen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2006 5:13 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Question about a GetResourceIdList Operation I am just curious. If a WSDM web service is managing several resources, wouldn't it make sense if there was a required WSDM operation to retrieve all the ResourceId's? For example, a GetResourceIdList operation. Much like the GetResourceProperty operation is required. Otherwise, how does a consumer know which resources a web service is managing? Does this functionality already exist and I just haven't seen it? Thanks, James Lorenzen.
