No argument/result specification

[melix]

Hi,

It seems to be a rather simple question, but I did not find any answer for it. I have some simple WS operations like getVersion which do not take any argument, and other operations which do not return anything. I'm wondering how am I supposed to describe it in my schema.

For both cases, I have defined a "NilType" :

<!-- Type for empty input/output -->
<xs:complexType name="nilType">
	<xs:sequence/>
</xs:complexType>

Then use it in both requests/responses :

<xs:element name="GetVersionRequest" type="lke:nilType"/>
...
<xs:element name="ReloadLingwareResponse" type="lke:nilType"/>

This works but when using jaxb bindings, then a "NilType" class is generated and the client stubs, for example, create a getVersion operation which takes a NilType instance as a parameter.

What's the correct way of describing those operations ?

Either my question is stupid, or the answer is not that trivial, but I'd really like to have the answer.
