    copied!<p>I'm implementing a CRUD web service for object with multiple attributes. Should I define a single type like</p> <pre><code>&lt;xs:complexType name="tProject"&gt; &lt;xs:sequence&gt; &lt;xs:element name="id" type="xs:int" minOccurs="0" /&gt; &lt;xs:element name="projectname" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" /&gt; &lt;xs:element name="projectnum" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" /&gt; &lt;xs:element name="description" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" /&gt; &lt;!-- here another 30-some attributes --&gt; &lt;/xs:sequence&gt; &lt;/xs:complexType&gt; </code></pre> <p>and use it for all operations: </p> <ol> <li><p>GetProject both request and response contain tProject. In response all fields would be there but request should contain key columns (id and/or projectname) to identify the project. This is something that the consumer just have to know and it's not clearly stated in interface description. </p></li> <li><p>UpdateProject request should contain key columns (id and/or projectname) and the columns that are updated. Once again it can't be known by just checking the interface cause all are minOccurs="0".</p></li> <li>CreateProject request should contain some fields that are wanted to have initially for the project. The id is created by WS and it must be sent back to consumer. Response would be again tProject but only having id in it.</li> </ol> <p>Already when I wrote it here it feels that it violates everything about wsdl design. </p>
