7. Retrieving Collection and Service Properties

The CalWS-SOAP getProperties request is used to fetch properties. The href can target the service with a path of “/” or any entity within the service.

The service properties define the global limits and defaults. Any properties defined on collections within the service hierarchy override those service defaults. The service may choose to prevent such overriding of defaults and limits when appropriate. The tables below show the fields for request and response.
