There four types of wsdl documents: RPC/encoded RPC/literal Document/Literal Document/Encoded
The last one is the less used. RPC/Literal and Document/Literal is WS-I, in short, that means more interoperability. But is also very common to use RPC/Encoded. One of the differences from Document and RPC, is the way that objects get serialized in SOAP messages. The document approach is widely used in .NET clients, hence some problems of clients using document approach with an ws server(axis for example) with rpc/encoded. If you want to write a client to invoke a webservice, use the WSDLToJava command from axis. You can read more about it from apache.axis.org. On 10/19/06, Bassi Gurpiar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I am new to Axis. I have created and deployed a web service onto Tomcat. I am using a tool called SoapScope to invoke my web service and it works great. BUT.... I wish to write a java class that will invoke the web service. Please can someone help me. I have seen people using different approaches to writing clients and I am more confused than ever. I wish to call the operation "getEnterpriseProdGroupReport". This takes in an array of type BranchAccount (complex type). I am using axis version 1.2.1. Please can someone give me some client code to invoke this service. I am using document/literal.........whatever that is! I don't know the difference between doc literal and rpc. Someone please explain!
