"soap12:body" - Binding for SOAP Body
This section describes 'soap12:body', a SOAP extension element that specifies how the SOAP Body should be constructed in the SOAP message for an operation input and output. 'literal' means no encoding.
"soap12:body" is a SOAP extension element used as a sub element of the "wsdl:input" or "wsdl:output" element inside the "wsdl:binding" and "wsdl:operation" element structure. "soap12:body" is used to provide information on how the content of the SOAP Body element is constructed. The syntax of "soap12:body" looks like this:
<wsdl:definitions ...> <wsdl:binding ...> <wsdl:operation ...> <wsdl:input> <soap12:body parts="nmtokens" use="literal|encoded" encodingStyle="list" namespace="uri"/> </wsdl:input> <wsdl:output> <soap12:body parts="nmtokens" use="literal|encoded" encodingStyle="list" namespace="uri"/> </wsdl:output> </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:binding> </wsdl:definitions>
Notes on the "soap12:body" element:
If style="rpc" is specified for this operation, each message part is a parameter for the operation and appears inside a wrapper element within the SOAP Body. The wrapper element is assigned a local name of the operation name and a namespace name of the value of the namespace attribute of the soap12:body element. Each message part is carried as a child element of the wrapper element. Each parameter element is assigned a local name of the value of the name attribute of the corresponding wsdl:part element and a namespace name with no value.
If style="document" is specified for this operation, Child elements of the soap:Body must be elements as defined by the global element declarations identified by the respective QName values of the element attributes of the wsdl:part element children of the corresponding wsdl:message element. The message parts appear as child elements of the soap:Body element and there are no additional wrappers.
Here is an example of "soap12:operation" element:
<wsdl:binding name="helloBinding" type="hy:helloPortType"> <soap12:binding style="document" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/> <wsdl:operation name="Hello"> <soap12:operation soapAction="https://www.herongyang.com/Service/Hello"/> <wsdl:input name="helloInput"> <soap12:body use="literal"/> </wsdl:input> <wsdl:output name="helloOutput"> <soap12:body use="literal"/> </wsdl:output> </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:binding>
