[kepler-users] 1 question about the web service actor

[Alex Chen]

Hi, to anyone who is familiar with the web service actor:

The current web service actor uses IOport uniformly for inputs.
I am trying to make it distinguishable between data ports and parameter
ports using portparameters.

As I read through the code, I ran into 1 question:
1. configureActor method calls createPorts relatively early, and
createPort calls _createPort using loop to actually create individual
ports. Intuitively, it should taken care of all the port instantiation.
However, createPorts method calls _createPort in the later part of the
code, which seems to create output ports, but should it had been taken
cared of by createPorts?

thanks a lot,
Alex
