I had a similar problem when i was integrating one application to
Soaplab. I used the 'default' attribute of the outfile options to
specify the name of the output file my application was expecting. This
worked well however i also needed to add a new check in the getFileName
method of the IOData class for checking whether the output has a default
file name and it is secure to use. This didn't look like against the
spirit of a distributed application but i wasn't quite sure and thought
discussing with you (haven't had a chance before).
