I concur. Doc/literal support was an afterthought when Axis was put together.

That's been our finding also. Axis supports rpc/encoded very well. Anything else is just an exercise in frustration. We wound up writing our own doc/lit SOAP stack because Axis just didn't work and Sysinet was too expensive and proprietary. mike -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Sosnoski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2003 1:28 PM To: axis-user Subject: Axis doc/lit - impossible? Mitch Gitman has an article up on JavaWorld talking about Web service styles (http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-10-2003/jw-1003-wsstyles.html?). In the second page he covers several attempted approaches to implementing a doc/lit service using Axis (none of which work properly) and comes to the conclusion that "while Axis purports to support document/literal, it actually doesn't." Any comments? I've played around with doc/lit using Axis myself and ran into problems, but assumed I could find a work-around with enough effort (probably by avoiding WSDL2Java and Java2WSDL, and supplying my own WSDL for the service - at which point Axis isn't really adding a lot of value). Mitch says that Axis flat out doesn't support doc/lit, though he appears to only be working with the W2J/J2W tools. - Dennis
