Hi Anne, Thanks for the information. I had the impression (read earlier in Axis User group) that Message Style services are better for interoperability since both deals directly with xml documents.

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.
