If you have "overloaded" operations in WSDL, you cannot use doc/literal wrapped style. In the wrapped pattern, you require an element to have the same name as the operation, and you cannot have two elements with the same name in XML. Other than that, doc/lit wrapped has the nice advantage that it is the "best of both worlds", having the operation name in the SOAP message but also the greater expressiveness of the document style.
Good article here: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-whichwsdl/ If you are using Axis 2.0 with databinding, you may want to choose a databinding framework (such as JiBX) that supports the wrapped style.

Could someone please clarify this for me? Regards, Joshua
