Re: IWS and input parameters...

the suffix _LENGTH must be   capital because that  is what  IWS currently 
looks for.  It should not matter because it is not part  of payload.

If you have a structure that is an input parameters, then the  HTTP method 
is POST  or PUT. 

Other  than  what we have  for  doc on  web site,  and  articles, that  is 
all the doc there  is.   We are in  process of updating the  doc.
