   * @param string $entity_type
   *   The entity type.
   * @param string $controller_method
   *   The name of the method the service should invoke on the controller. This
   *   must be defined in the controller class.
   * @param $access_op
   *   If set, the $op value to pass to the access method for this operation.
   *   Defaults to the method name. This is useful when the operation
   *   expected by entity_access() differs from the method name (e.g. 'view'
   *   rather than 'retrieve'), or when you want to use the same access rules
   *   for more than one method (for example, a relationship might want to
   *   simply use the entity's default 'view' access).
   * @param boolean $id_arg
   *   If set, add an argument representing the entity_id. This will be taken from
   *   path index 0.
   * @param boolean $values_arg
   *   If set, add an argument representing the entity values. This will be taken from
   *   the POST data.
   *
   * @return
   *   An info array which can be used as a basis for building a services resource
   *   definition.
