In the WSDD operation element, the QName of the operation is specified. This is used to dispatch to the correct operation depending on the first QName in the body.
This should all work in 1.0 as designed, with the Java data binding mapping to the right XML stuff. See the document/literal interop tests (test/wsdl/interop*) for examples. -- Tom Jordahl Macromedia Server Development -----Original Message----- From: Douglas Bitting [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 6:42 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Style=document over RPC ? In your first case, that would seem to imply a Message style operation, not Document. In the second case, that would seem to imply "bad" design. :-) -----Original Message----- From: Vidyanand Murunikkara [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 3:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Style=document over RPC ? I am not an expert either. But the soap:body could be a set of document fragments and not neccesarily a single document. check this http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwebsr v/html/wsdlexplained.asp. Correct me if I am wrong. And also what if there is more than one method in the same service which takes in the same type as the input ? Thanks Vidyanand. -----Original Message----- From: Douglas Bitting [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 3:25 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Style=document over RPC ? As near as I can tell, document based operations are discovered based on the type of the parameter. That is, if a <PurchaseOrder> comes in, and <PurchaseOrder> is mapped to foo.PurchaseOrder, the method that is invokes is that which has the single argument of type foo.PurchaseOrder. Seems like a perfectly valid approach since the document is supposed to define the operation. Of course, if my understanding of how this works is wrong... feel free to correct me. :-) Cheers, --Doug -----Original Message----- From: Vidyanand Murunikkara [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 3:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Style=document over RPC ? Hi folks There has been some heated discussions in axis-user over rpc style or document style recently which basically started off with someone asking if they could use a WSDL with document style and the Axis server would use RPCProvider to do all the XML <-> Java Binding. So for anyone outside it is a document based operation but at the server side the RPC provider will be used to call the corresponding method after doing all the required XML-> Java conversions. The user need not worry about any of the marshalling/unmarshalling. Now comes the question as to how we identify the operation from the incoming message. We could use soapactionURI to indicate which operation needs to be called. We have made a slight modification to the code to make this work... and it seems to work in most "Normal" cases. Do you think such a feature need to be added to Axis ? Thanks Vidyanand.
