SOAP defines a way to map an XML document to a method call. Actually,
that's like this for every serialization standard / RPC standard pair.
For example JsonRPC is a standard to map an incoming json document to a
method call. XmlRpc is another way of mapping xml documents to method
calls, etc..

So in normal (non-bare) mode, you define your method and Spyne generates
needed input and output objects for you. In bare mode, it's your job to
define these objects. That's why you can only have a single input and
single output object.

So if your method needs to take two arguments, you have to do what Spyne
does behind the scenes and define a complex model that has two
attributes and use that object as type of the single argument to your
method.

The "one object == one method call" is the fundamental design principle
behind Spyne[1].

If that's clear, let's get back to your case. You need:

    class InitializeRequest(ComplexModel):
         __type_name__ = 'Initialize'
         __namespace__ = 'tns' # whatever you passed to your app as tns
    argument

        _type_info = [
            ('id', Unicode),
            ('name', Unicode),
        ]

and

    class SomeService(ServiceBase):
        @rpc(InitializeRequest, _body_style='bare')
        def wicked(ctx, request):
            print "id:", request.id
            print "name:", request.name

If you need to have the namespace of your incoming object different from
your app's tns,  you need latest code from github.com/arskom/spyne. I
just found out 2.11 doesn't support that.

I hope this helps.

Best,
Burak

[1]: That doesn't mean one document can't contain more than one object,
but that's not implemented because I don't see the point.
