question about encodingStyle

["Ding, Chengmin" <Ch...@tfn.com>]

Hi, Soap Folks,
The following program always return the error message: 

D:\java\apache\samples\hello>java samples.hello.HelloC
invoke service
  URL= http://localhost:8181/soap/servlet/rpcrouter
  URN =urn:demo1:hello
SOAPException= SOAP-ENV:Client, I only know how to serialize an
'org.w3c.dom.Ele
ment'.

I want to know why I cannot use the Literal Encoding for it while SOAP_ENC
works fine.

Besides, if I use a VB client, the encodingstyle is at the Envelop Level.
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><SOAP-ENV:Body>
if I use a Java client(Apache Soap), the encodingstyle is at the method
level.
<ns1:SayHello xmlns:ns1="urn:demo1:hello"
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
My service is written in Apache Soap, will it recognize the correct
encodingStyle if the request is from a VB client? 

Thank you in advance.
