Null Encoding Style

[Kellogg, Richard]

Quick question:

Is it valid to specify an empty encodingStyle on a typeMapping?  Are there any 
pros/cons to doing so?

Please see the example below for an example:

 <deployment name="test" xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"; 
xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java";
                         xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema"; 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance";>

  <service name="TestDocLiteral" style="wrapped">
    <namespace>urn:example-webservices:docliteral-test</namespace>

    <typeMapping
      xmlns:ns="urn:schemas-example-webservices:mmap"
      qname="ns:MMapEntry"
      type="java:com.micros.common.webservices.mmap.MMapEntry"
      serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory"
      deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFactory"
      encodingStyle=""
    />

    <parameter name="className" value="samples.DocLitEchoMapEntryService" />
    <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*" />
  </service>
</deployment>
