I generated the WSDLs for the 2 styles (see below): the main difference, as explained in the User Guide, is the treatment of the operation element. Neither the default RPC style nor the document style uses the <complexType> element so this doesn't look to be the problem. The service accepts a string as input and returns a string as output.
Please does anyone have an answer?
