[Soaplab2-dev] Which style of WSDL

I assumed you meant 'rpc/encoded' in the above discussion.

The following article is a good source for finding an answer to the
above question.

The main advantage of the rpc/encoded style is that the WSDL is as
straightforward as it's possible for a WSDL to be. However, the main
disadvantage is that it is not WS-I compliant.

Using rpc/encoded style it is possible to reference the same object in
more than one place by using the href and the id attributes, so avoiding
duplication of data in some cases.
