SOAP: When to choose doc / lit or rpc

[DT]

Hi All,

Can anybody tell me why you would choose one soap format over
another? or are the choices based on what you are interoperating with or
message size constraints.

many thanks

WS/I (the web services interoperability organization, see ws-i.org ) says
that you *should* always choose doc/lit.
In fact RPC/Encoded is not supported by the WS-I Basic Profile 1.0.
In Java terms, RPC/Encoded is "Deprecated".

RPC/Literal is also supported by WS-I BP1.0, but this is a less common
combination, and Microsoft counsels against its use. For more on that, see
here:

In short, go with Doc/Lit for best interoperability.
