XML is just a meta-language, not a language. You can't
serializable anything in "XML". You have to choose what
is called an "XML application" or "XML language" or "XML encoding"
to serialiaze your data.
There are numerous languages you can choose from to do this and
this is what the "encoding-style" is for. It tells the receiver
of the SOAP message what encoding was used.
SOAP comes with a default SOAP-encoding but you can use any other
encoding (a custom one for example).

Objet: Why do we need encoding-style?
Hi all,
What exactly is meant by "encoding-style" attribute in SOAP message. I
read that "encoding-style" value informs the server of the encoding
style used to encode -- i.e., serialize -- the method. But dont we use
XML to serialize the method in SOAP?? So why would we use an
encoding-style attribute? Does anybody have any example which shows
utility of this attribute in a practical scenario?
Thnaks and regards,
Gaurav
