∟Using SOAP Encoding in SOAP Messages

This section describes an example on how SOAP Encoding can be used in SOAP messages.

SOAP encoding can be used in SOAP header blocks and SOAP bodies by specifying the SOAP "encodingStyle" attribute as encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding". Here is a SOAP message example with SOAP encoding:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
 <env:Header 
    env:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding"
    xmlns:enc="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding">
  <h:expense xmlns:h="https://www.herongyang.com"
     env:role="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope/role/next"
     env:mustUnderstand="true">
  </h:expense>
 </env:Header>

 <env:Body 
    env:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding"
    xmlns:enc="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding">
  <b:travel enc:nodeType="struct" xmlns:b="https://www.herongyang.com">
   <b:currency enc:id="euro">
    <b:rate>0.72</b:rate>
   </b:currency>
   <b:flight>429.00</b:flight>
  </b:travel>
  <b:shopping enc:nodeType="struct" xmlns:b="https://www.herongyang.com">
   <b:currency enc:ref="#euro"/>
   <b:paris enc:nodeType="array" enc:arraySize="3"
      enc:itemType="xsi:float">
    <b:item>29.00</b:item>
    <b:item>99.00</b:item>
    <b:item>19.00</b:item>
   </b:paris>
  </b:shopping>
 </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>
