I suggest that you use Apache Axis (http://ws.apache.org/axis) rather than
Apache SOAP. Apache Axis provides much better support for document/literal.
Apache Axis is Apache's strategic Web services implementation. Apache SOAP
has been on life support for more than 2 years, and there's no plan to
upgrade it to support WSDL.
