For the most part, I concur with Jim. If you want to create an RMI-style
programming interface, always use wrapped/literal. On the other hand, if you
want to send a predefined schema (such as a standard schema defined by your
favorite vertical industry group), you may need to use Document/Literal --
particularly if the schema contains attributes. Wrapped/Literal simulates
the RPC style, and it doesn't permit attributes.
Just to *finally* get this clear in my own mind. I've always assumed that Wrapped disallowed attributes at the "parameters" level. So if I had an operation that took a complexType as an argument the type itself could have attribute content as long as the wrapper itself doesn't. Is this wrong?
void foo(SomeType t)
Might look like this on the wire:
<Envelope>
<Body>
<foo> <!-- No attribute allowed - for sure -->
<t> <!-- No attribute allowed - don't know why not? -->
<a c="d" /> <!-- Attribute allowed - aren't they? -->
<b />
</t>
</foo>
</Body>
</Envelope>
