Web service name syntax

["Melamud, Mikhail" <Mi...@ca.com>]

Can web service name contain special characters such as #, %,^, &,\?
For example, using deployService() method I can create Axis wsdd as
follows:
<service name="h%" provider="java:RPC"> 
<parameter name="methodName" value="*"/> 
<parameter name="alias" value="h%Service"/> 
<parameter name="scope" value="request"/> 
<parameter name="className" value="wsbecho.EchoStruct"/> 
</service> 

 but then url /somehost/somecontext/h%?wsdl throws HTTP 400 error
url /somehost/somecontext/h%25?wsdl would not work either ('%' is
encoded here)

Shouldn't Axis deployService() throw an exception here if it's not valid
name?
Or if it's a valid web service name why my url doesn't generate wsdl?

Is any standard on What characters are allowed in Web service name?

Thanks
Mike

The % character has a special meaning in URLs therefore it should be
escaped try to call this 
/somehost/somecontext/h%25?wsdl

the %25 is the escape sequence for %
however why would one use a % in a name?
