Web service versioning and the consumer does not need to know about...
I was thinking about how to add a version information to a WSDL description and SOAP messages. I mentioned that Best practices for Web services versioning. e.g. supposes to use different namespaces for different versions.
A simple idea how this can be achieved without using different namespaces and without the need that the consumer needs to know that there is versioning support is the following:
A fixed value is used for the version information. This way the version information automatically filled in every SOAP message and the consumer does not need to care about it. It just uses a certain WSDL description at one point in time, reads that it needs to send a fixed value in every SOAP message and that's it.
