Sergey,

Here is the response I got on users@wadl.dev.java.net from Marc Hadley:

I assume you are trying to describe a representation that contains a Boolean
- right ?

I think a better way to represent this would as follows:

<representation mediaType="text/plain">
 <param name="result" type="xsd:Boolean" style="plain"/>
</representation>

It might be worth considering switching from text/plain to something with a
bit more structure. E.g. you could use application/x-www-form-urlencoded:
instead of a body of "true" you'd send back "result=true". That little bit
of extra structure will allow you to add additional information in the
future with less chance of breaking (well written) clients. In that case
you'd use style="query" in the param element. Personally I'd use JSON or XML
but I understand the urge to keep things simple.
