A few comments. 1. Apache SOAP does not support document style for a service. If you want responses for users/programmers of a SOAP implementation that does, try Apache Axis.
2. Yes, SOAPAction would be a likely way to specify the operation to perform. 3. Although many parts *can* be specified for an operation, you will find that some implementations, such as .NET, by default "wrap" everything in a single XML element, so that an operation always has a single part and looks much like an RPC message. Because of this wrapping, an Apache SOAP client can easily imitate document style for most services.
