The SOAP spec says a little bit about this, e.g. see the 1.2 working draft at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-soap12-part0-20011217/#L3374. WSDL (see 1.1 at
http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl#_soap-b) also provides a means to specify encoding.
Apache SOAP supports "standard" SOAP encoding, denoted by the
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/ URI, as well as XMI encoding
http://www.ibm.com/namespaces/xmi and literal XML
http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/literalxml. The address book example's
GetAllListings method returns the listings using literal XML. Basically, using
literal XML the sender of a message sends some XML fragment which the receiver
must interpret. It's very useful if you already have data in XML format. With
Apache SOAP, just read the XML into a DOM and specify an element of the DOM as a
parameter.I do not know whether the XMI encoding will find widespread use, but since .NET
does both SOAP (aka rpc/encoded) and literal XML (document/literal), I think
both of those will be quite popular.Scott Nichol
