Dan, The dump you should is quite legal. From SOAP 1.1 section 4.1.1
>>>> The SOAP encodingStyle global attribute can be used to indicate the serialization rules used in a SOAP message. This attribute MAY appear on any element, and is scoped to that element's contents and all child elements not themselves containing such an attribute, much as an XML namespace declaration is scoped. There is no default encoding defined for a SOAP message. <<<< Your call to "call.setEncodingStyleURI(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC);" specified this encoding style. Note that SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle is an attribute, not an element itself. If this does not answer your question, or if you have other questions, please don't hestitate to follow up on this mailing list.
