Re: What are the advantages of Message style web services?

[Anne Thomas Manes]

If your application prefers to work with the information in it's native XML 
format, then you want to use the message style. For example, if your 
application simply wants to process one portion of a large document and 
then send it along in a workflow, it doesn't make sense to convert the 
entire document into Java objects, only to convert it back into the XML 
document again.

You also might want to use the message style for one-way or asynchronous 
processing.
