Hi Dino,

Thanks for the response and the link, it spured me to look at an existing
document i passed over, the link is below if anyone is interested.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/12/WebServicesDesign/

I have a question though, if i have several messages that say return a
boolean, can i generate a generic response and specify that all method
responses that return a boolean are controlled by my genericBooleanResponse
or genericIntegerResponse etc etc or would it be better to define a different
response for all methods??

Any input would be good,

Regards,

Rob
