Web services style options

The Web services Style options available for created Genero Web services are WS-I (Web services Interoperability organization) compliant:

  • RPC Style Service (RPC/Literal) is generally used to execute a function, such as a service that returns a stock option.

  • Document Style Service (Doc/Literal) is generally used for more sophisticated operations that exchange complex data structures, such as a service that sends an invoice to an application, or exchanges a Word document.

  • RPC Style Service (RPC/Encoded) is the legacy style, now provided for backwards compatibility. You most likely will not be using the RPC/Encoded style to create new Web services.
