Re: How to specifiy default values in WCF web services (repost)

Language defaults don't work for me, because they are not logical defaults.

The [EmitDefaultValue=false] only works for microsoft clients using svcutil
generated proxy file, correct? What if it's a Java client consuming my WCF
service? How can I be sure that what came over the wire is a language
default value or my logical default value?

Here's a concrete example:

I have a property called PerfectPrintAngle, it's an integer.
Its logical default value is -1, which tells the web service not to use
PerfectPrintAngle (valid values are from 0 to 359)
Its language default value is 0, which is in the correct range.

So if it comes in over the wire as 0 (language default), the web service has
no way of telling whether this was defaulted on the client side or actually
set to 0 by the client program.

I hope I am explaining this correctly!

Thanks, Dave
