- separate semantic definitions from application code
</Quote>
WSDL definitions (Operations, Messages, Parts, etc. are often dependent
on the systems that consume and process the messages whose format the
WSDL document describes - for example, "getLastTradePrice" may be the
name of an executable module on the receiver side (a Java Bean, C++
program, etc.). Does this violate the above principle? (in other words,
is the principle accurate?)
Kind Regards,
