encodingStyle="uri" for use="encoded"
This section provides a tutorial example on how to write a WSDL 1.1 example that uses SOAP 1.1 over HTTP with style='rpc', use='encoded' and encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'
When I use SOAP Extension included in PHP 5.3.1 to test RPC method based Web services, I noticed that my program failed on WSDL document that includes use="encoded" without encodingStyle="uri". SOAP Extension does not provide any default encodingStyle value.
To help testing SOAP Extension programs, I wrote another WSDL example with:
In this WSDL example, I defined a GetStockPrice Web service, which allows you to get a stock price with 3 inputs: stock, market, and date. Here is the WSDL document, GetStockPrice_WSDL_11_SOAP_11_RPC.wsdl:
