Remarks

A MethodInstance is defined by identifying which Parameter in the Method is the one that the Business Data Catalog should look to for the information returned in the invocation. In addition, since some Methods may have complex Parameters, specifying the ReturnTypeDescriptor allows a MethodInstance to point deep inside a Parameter to flag only a portion of it for Business Data Catalog processing. See SampleWebService Metadata for a sample.
