Converting RPC/encoded services to WS-I compliant services

[Sameer Pradhan]

Hi everyone,   I have some webservices implemented in java and deployed in AXIS. These are deployed as RPC/encoded services. We have a new requirement to make all webservices WS-I compliant. The ones I referred above are not WS-I compliant because RPC/encoded is not allowed in WS-I Basic Profile.   I need help to evaluate my options:   1. Switch to RPC/literal services. Is this advisable? The services use soap-encoded arrays of objects and xsd:strings. Can these be supported in rpc/literal services? Where can I find documentation/instructions on how to set up rpc/literal services in AXIS?   2. Switch to document style services. Is this a better option? If so, why? Would I need to rewrite the implementation? Again, where can I find documentation/instructions on how to set up document style services in AXIS?   Any other options?   Any help will be appreciated.   Sameer
