[kepler-dev] The updated version of WebService actor: Please reconfigure your web service models!

[Matt Jones]

Thanks Ilkay, this is a great change.  Its been sorely needed.  It seems 
that the choice SHOULD be dynamically refreshed -- is this just a 
limitation of the ptolemy implementation?  If so, then I think we should 
extend the implementation to allow for dynamic refreshes of the option 
list, because it would be a generally useful feature.  Its certainly 
possible in Java (by controlling the model for the choice), but is there 
some theoretical reason why this isn't allowed within Ptolemy?
