Service Descriptions and Fields are Not Linked
Allowable Fields can change in three places
The actual service
The WSDL
The PDF
The real bad news is that developers have to keep downloading and reading the PDF instead of letting their programs read the WSDL.
There is no use of service descriptions, so even though WSDL and SOAP are used, this is not really a use of
web services
.
This is is
impractical
.
Notice that Google just moved to Ajax because, really, web services are not necessary if one programs the old way.
