[uddi-comment] best practices: wsdlSpec tModels and WSDL versions

[Paul Sterk <paul.sterk@Sun.COM>]

Hi,

My understanding is that as a single web service interface (port
type)  evolves over time (i.e., it has versions v1, v2, etc.),  you do
*not* create a new wsdlSpec TModel instance for every version.   This
is because the interface *type* is the same.  Only its methods and/or
data types have changed.  In this case, the TModel's overviewURL would
point to an updated version of the WSDL.  You could also provide a
version scheme for the TModel using a custom taxonomy.

However, if one took an existing interface and changed it with the
intent of representing a new interface type, then you would create a
new wsdlSpec TModel instance for it.

Is this correct?

Thanks,
Paul
