I am using SOAP Encoding, passing XML as a string. I would have prefered to
use Literal Encoding but my service is an EJB. Element is not serializable
so I would have been forced to write my own EJB provider so I went with
SOAP Encoding instead. Everything I have seen would indicate that for
reasonable sized messages there is not alot of overhead with escaping all
characters required to send as a string.

I'm curious what advantages (or disadvantages) exist for using "literal
XML"
when passing as a parameter in a Soap call.

Can the XML parameter just be passed as a String?
(advantages/disadvantages
please)

Do all Soap implementations support literal-XML?

Any insight appreciated.

tks,
  mh
