Returning results from a doc\literal service

[Dimuthu Leelarathne <mu...@opensource.lk>]

hi all,

I have a document literal question. This is about returning results from a
document literal service.

Case 1 :: Imagine we have a doc\lit service that returns a complex type.
For example

  public Order getItemCount(Invoice inv){ }

Shold the response SOAP body look like below.

<soapenv:Body>
<ResultGetItemCount>
<order ........>
............
..............
</order>
</ResultGetItemCount>
</soapenv:Body>

What should be the root element ???? Is it correct to get the
<ResultGetItemCount> as the root element ????


Case 2 :: If doc\lit service returns a simple type what should be the root
element ???

public int getItemCount(Invoice inv){ }

Shold the response SOAP body look like below.

<soapenv:Body>
<ResultGetItemCount>
 <itemCount>23</itemCount>
</ResultGetItemCount>
</soapenv:Body>

What should be the root element of this type ???

I am really thankful for any comments/ or pointers to a document that I
can find answers.

Thank you,
Dimuthu.

First of all, a response message is totally up to its WSDL definition. You
can't judge whether a response SOAP message is correct or not with only a
method signature regarding doc/literal style. (rpc/literal may allow that
though.)

You may be confused with rpc/literal and doc/literal, and even wrapper style
in JAX-RPC. I think WS-I Basic Profile can show you more clarity on those
concepts and usages. See
http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/Basic/2003-08/BasicProfile-1.0a.htm , in
particular, rpc/literal's wrapper elment and differences between rpc and
doc. 

Best wishes,

Ias
